The Natural Josh Hamilton and the Home Run Derby
Published 7/15/2008 by noreply@blogger.com (TheNaturalMevs) at Diamond Hoggers
As much as Hamilton is missed as a Red, you must be happy for him. A buddy and us spent wayyy too long playing NHL 2008 on the XBOX tonight. We didn't even get to see our pick Grady Sizemore hit his 6 home runs in the derby. However, we picked the perfect moment to turn it on. Josh Hamilton was ...

Home Run Derby 2008: Josh Hamilton hits a record 28 Home Runs [Video]
Published 7/15/2008 by houroc at SportFiends
Ok so I will probably write a post tomorrow or something about the guy that actually won the 2008 Home Run Derby, Justin Morneau but that will have to wait. Tonight I’m posting this video about the tattoo sportin’ Josh Hamilton from the Texas Rangers who pretty much stole the show. Even though he was the home run derby runner up, he broke the record for the most home runs in a single round by belting out 28 home runs. Bobby Abreu had the previous record of 24 that he hit in 2005. Josh Hamilton, who was a previous drug and alcohol addict, shows that you ...

Josh Hamilton Video - Home Run Derby Video
Published 7/15/2008 by Stephen Kersey at Knuckle Curve - Baseball News
Josh Hamilton didn’t win the Home Run Derby. Hamilton, however, did steal the show. The Texas Rangers outfielder hit 28 homers in the first round to set a new all-time record. Hamilton had a number of blasts over 500 feet that were just stunning to watch. If you are a baseball fan, you owe it to yourself to watch this epic Hamilton Home Run Derby video. Hamilton, who we named as the AL MVP at midseason, is just an amazing story. If you don’t know the Hamilton story, read our Josh Hamilton biography. He’s gone from out of baseball to arguably becoming the best hitter in baseball. Here is the ...

The Opening Pitch: "Ha!-Mil!-Ton! Ha!-Mil!-Ton!" It will go down as one of the most thrilling and memorable cheers in recent baseball history. More than 55,000 people - many New York Yankees fans - lost all pretense of "Bronx jeer" partisanship and wildly cheered on the now-mythical Josh Hamilton.

Josh Hamilton's record 28 HRs

...OR DO YA WANNA SEE SOME DINGERS?
Published 7/15/2008 at With Leather - Sports news and gossip for your impressionable young children
To go with this morning's ensmartening written recap, here's video of Josh Hamilton's record-breaking first round at last night's Home Run Derby.  My favorite part is all the times it cuts off Chris Berman in mid-sentence. Seriously, though: 28 home runs with 38 swings.  It's better than anyone in history, and it was done by a drug addict.  It just goes to show you, kids: if you do lots and lots of heroin, you can do anything you put your mind to.  Usually that "anything" is getting more heroin, but hey: a home run derby record is nice, ...

by Sterling Gould, Staff Writer Last night's home run derby was really good, if you're like me and gave up on audio and put the television on "mute" after hearing Chris Berman's and Joe Morgan's welcoming broadcast. In all seriousness, I'd rather have the audio from the movie "Hostile" being played over and over than hear those two bumblefucks broadcast anything. You already know about Josh Hamilton banging a 1st Round record 28 home runs, only to fall to Justin Morneau in the finals (yet, he hit more homeruns combined... make sense? No, but I won't lose any sleep over this). But it was nice to see MLB players sittin' in the grass with ...

2008 Home Run Derby

Yankee Stadium is 314 feet down the right field line and 318 down the left field line, so there’s a very slight advantage to left-handed hitters.
