Josh Hamilton Hits 28 Home Runs In the 1st Round of the Home Run Derby
Published 7/15/2008 by Antone (noreply@blogger.com) at Hip 2 Da Game
If you don't believe that special things happen at Yankee Stadium after this, then I really don't know what else to tell you. How else can you explain someone hitting 28 home runs in the first round of the Home Run Derby? I remember back in the early 90's when guys like Frank Thomas hit 15 home runs and Cal Ripken, JR hit 12 home runs in a round and we thought that was a lot of home runs. Makes you wonder how juiced up these baseballs are. The funny thing is Josh Hamilton didn't even win the Home Run Derby. He ended up losing in the final round to Justin Morneau, 5 to 3. If you ask me, they should carry the home runs over from round to ...

Josh Hamilton put on the most impressive offensive display I've ever seen in the first round of the Home Run Derby. A record 28 home runs, including three over 500 feet (giving him three of the top 10 all-time Derby homers by distance). He crushed the ball... destroyed it. I'm kind of amazed the cover didn't come off some of them. There was one pitch that was a bit inside that he hit with one hand - it went around 450 ft, half-way up the upper-deck in right field. Nobody else hit 28 all night, and the next closest in the first round had 8. It was amazing, with the crowd cheering his name and the players looking on in awe. Unfortunately, he only hit 3 HR in the final ...
