July 14, 200323 yr It'll be interesting to see an interview of Mike... maybe he'll admit to turning down the offer.
July 14, 200323 yr I don't care, Griffey said he wasn't going to do it back at Coors(I think that was The Stadium), fans booed, he ended up doing it. Don't take Barry Bond's word on anything. Don't count on it. Bonds is the most stubborn, arrogant athlete around, and he won't do what he doesn't want to. Lowell should be there over anyone but Bonds, and because he isn't going to do it, Mikey will be asked to and will say yes, because he knows Sheffy didn't knock one out his first time, and he knows it's a once in a life time chance. Mike NEVER said he wouldn't do it. Newspapers implied that due to his groin he might not, but HE never said a word about it. in fact he even almost went as far to say as he would want to do it, i read either in the herald or sun online, ill paraphrase cause i cant remember "I think it would be a lot of fun, some guys like barry and manny dont want to do it cause it messes up there swings. But not me. I think it would be really fun". he said something like that
July 14, 200323 yr It'll be interesting to see an interview of Mike... maybe he'll admit to turning down the offer. I really, really doubt that.
July 14, 200323 yr If Sexson was asked to do it OVER Mike, I'll be pissed. I don't care who hits the bigger HR, it's who hits more.
July 14, 200323 yr LOL so do I! It's wishful thinking on my part -- just to avoid thinking that they actually picked Sexson on top of Lowell. :banghead
July 14, 200323 yr If Sexson was asked to do it OVER Mike, I'll be pissed. I don't care who hits the bigger HR, it's who hits more. nah, IMO its who hits longer ones, fans want a show at the derby, the want 500 ft shots, not 380 ft ones, haha
July 14, 200323 yr nah, IMO its who hits longer ones, fans want a show at the derby, the want 500 ft shots, not 380 ft ones, haha No it's not. The fans want HR's in general. It's nice if they go 500 ft., but if it goes 380-400, it's still over the fence.
July 14, 200323 yr Sure I like seeing long homers. I like to see who hits the most in a row. But my favorite thing at the Derby (besides watching the players sitting on the sidelines, oggling the homers with their kids and cameras) is seeing who really wants to be there. Whose in there to win it. Seeing the fire in the hitters eyes is what makes it fun.

July 14, 200323 yr IRONY: Although many more of Sexson's homeruns are longer, Lowell's longest is 440 ft, which is longer than Sexson's longest 430 ft.
July 14, 200323 yr Lowell Total 10710.0 Avg 382.5 Max 440.0 Min 340.0 Mean 387.5 Sexson Total 10141.0 Avg 405.6 Max 430.0 Min 370.0 Mean 410.0
July 14, 200323 yr Lowell's Home Ballpark: Pro Player Stadium Sexson's Home Ballpark: Miller Park Which is nicer to right-handed home run hitters?
July 14, 200323 yr Must be Lowell's - like I said, Lowell's longest is 440 and that's what you have as max.
July 14, 200323 yr Lowell's Home Ballpark: Pro Player Stadium Sexson's Home Ballpark: Miller Park Which is nicer to right-handed home run hitters? Other irony, that long-shot of 440 was in PPS!
July 14, 200323 yr Must be Lowell's - like I said, Lowell's longest is 440 and that's what you have as max. I would say that JRS is more of a pitchers park the Miller Park.
July 14, 200323 yr Guys, the stadium you play in has nothing to do with how far you hit the ball, but how many you hit out of the park in the first place. If Lowell played for the Brewers, he would have about 30 HR's right now.

July 14, 200323 yr so would lee, that may be very close to being true too I honestly wouldn't doubt it for a second. Some of you don't realize that Derrek Lee IS in fact one of the most powerful hitters in the game. He would have just as many HR's as Lowell if he was a pull hitter. Imagine if Lee played ANYWHERE else, just how many HR's he would have this year. Keep in mind, he has 15 on the road, and 4 at home this season.
