The Prince rules the Home Run derby

Post by SensFan71 on Tue Jul 14, 2009 12:42 pm

I know all star games are just a bunch of hoopla that garners little or no attention, but the home run derby sometimes can be different, specifically when you hear that a guy like Prince Fielder hits the ball a reported 503 ft (estimated). I am not certain what the longest is, but I am pretty impressed by anyone that can crush a ball over 500 ft.

I see they had the "FOX-like streamer" following the baseballs being hit at the derby. Too funny. Ahhhh the memories.
