Why you ask? Because of Josh Hamilton. That’s why. SCOTT JACOBS Alright, before we kick this thing off, let’s play Who Am I. Here we go. I lead the AL in home runs and play for the atrocious Cleveland Indians. Today on Around the Horn, my name was mispronounced. In 2002 I was part of the package the Indians received in exchange for Bartolo Colon. My name is Grady Sizemore

What a week for baseball as the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game kicked off early in the week and gave fans plenty to cheer about. There are 2 robberies to report from Monday Night as Josh Hamilton stole the stage in the first round and then Justin Morneau stole the trophy from Hamilton despite hitting 13 less homeruns on the night.

Dilldocks continues to occupy our top spot after claiming the 2nd Quarter prize. 283 homeruns is good enough to lead our game, but just by 1 homerun. AllorNothin is well within striking distance with a total of 282 homeruns. #1Philsfan remains in the thick of things with 278 HR. Our 4th place team is whoopers and Mr. Papa Georgio holds down the 5th spot.

Writing about Josh Hamilton ’s 28-HR, first-round performance in the 2008 MLB Home Run Derby would do him a disservice. So, in respect for Hamilton, here is video footage of his final four record-breaking home runs. Bobby Abreu had the previous record with 24 first-round home runs.

He participated in All-Star Home Run Derby, became the first rookie with an all-star game RBI since 1962, appeared on HBO’s Costas Now, received a congratulatory bottle of champagne from a famous actress of the same last name (Eva Longoria), and hit his first career grand ...

Sir, Step Away from the Headset

drme drme posted 9 days ago from www.realclearsports.com

This year's Home Run Derby reinforced a couple of previously held maxims about baseball. First, second-basemen, no matter how many home runs they hit, should not be considered power hitters. Second, things get much more interesting whenever someone is described as an "ex-heroin addict." And third, columnists should no longer be shoehorned into the broadcast booth.
