This year's home run derby was the first one I've looked forward to since 1999, with McGwire coming off his home run chase and the event being held in Fenway.
I was looking forward to it because one of the participants used to play in Binghamton. It was cool that Jason Bay was taking part. Too bad he didn't hit even one ball out.
BoBby Abreu was fantastic, but actually I was only half-listening to his first round while writing out bills, waiting for Jason Bay to get his chance.
Granted, Abreu hit more dingers in that competition than anyone else has, by a long shot, but the home run derby should not last longer than a typical game. Sheesh.
