Other than the show being among the worst ESPN has ever aired. I'd like to give you some advice on how to show how athletic these athletes really are in the HR Derby segment.

 

1) Let them hit the ball over the MLB fences. Not these crappy Little League fences you set-up. I've seen 60 year old former major leaguers hit balls out of them on MLB's Anual Celebrity Softball game at the ASG.

 

2) Let them use wooden bats not aluminum.

 

3) Give your "athletes" a lesson or two in holding and using a baseball bat. Most of your contestants looked horrible. T-ball players had better mechanics than some of the guys you had swing the bat.

 

4) All the soft groundballs and weak flyballs should have been cut and replaced with video of your players making solid contact with the ball. Oh wait......there wasn't much solid contact. :plain

 

In conclusion, your crappy show fails to show how athletic your athletes really are. Everyone involved in the production on this show should be banned from television.

 

Thanks for your time.

I disagree

I actually liked this show - helluva lot better than watching more poker.

I enjoy it, particularly the bowling.

 

 

However they rerun it too much.
