Oh man the Home Run Derby that I didn't see (for the most part). Didn't watch the meaningless event this year as I had much better things to do. Twiddling thumbs is better, right? Anyway, Prince Fielder prove to be the royal commodity last night as he won the Home Run Derby for the second time in his career. He beat out Jose Bautista in the final round, 12-7, and finished the derby with 28 total home runs. He and Ken Griffey Jr. are the only players to have multiple Derby titles in their careers because of this.
Congrats to Prince for another title but I got to say that I love the fact that the Captains for both sides sucked so hard. A Dodger and a Yankee couldn't get by the first round. Just blissful. I especially loved the fact that Robinson Cano, last year's winner, was booed the whole night and that he didn't hit a single home run. So great. I sort of hope they keep it going for the Yankee players tomorrow night. ENCORE, KANSAS CITY!!!
