All Star - Home Run Contest

Much like long drive competitions in golf - fun to watch. But could ESPN drag it out any longer? A commercial break between each person's at bat.

However, unlike the long drive competition, the longest home run doesn't win anything. I think they should award two trophies, one for the most home runs, and one for the longest home run.

I'm not a great baseball fan - love those Yankees - but there's something about the raw power these guys generate.

With that said which of the BIG GUNS wins? Bonds?, Sosa?, Thome?, no - a SHORTSTOP wins the thing!

It's all in the "cork"! (I'll leave the steroid issue for other forums)

BTW GenErr...Your Yankees are going down this Friday (7/16) at Comerica Park! I'm taking my 9 year old to the sold out game and we're looking for revenge!

leaguegolf: Although I root for the Yankees, I don't get upset when they lose - guess I'm not a diehard fan, I just grew up in the Mickey Mantle era and it carried over.

Have a great time with your son, and if beating the Yankees makes your night better, so be it.

I was just having a little fun GenErr. Mickey has always been a favorite of mine too. Actually the reason we're going is to see the Yankees, but the hot dogs, cokes, and peanuts always taste better when the home team wins.

Did you see all of those fans fighting for that Miguel Tejada ball? It looks like those mobs back when Sammy Sosa was in the home run record chase hitting home runs out of Wrigley and on to Waveland? Avenue.
