As you all know there are 4 per league and here is the up to date list.

 

mlb.com

 

NL Invites

Prince Fielder----yes

Ryan Howard----yes

Barry Bonds-----no answer

Ken Griffey------no answer

 

Miguel Cabrera was called and didnt answer. then his return call went unanswered as well. you would like to think he would be invited if bonds or griffey says no.

 

AL Invites

Justin Morneau----yes

 

No other words but I expect

A- Rod to get a call, maybe Vladdy and Magglio as well.

 

and before every1 rants about ryan howard, the champ always gets the 1st invite back the next year...team or not

Glad MLB is doin something neat. In inviting lefty to send must HR into the water, i dunno if anyone notice that?

I want to see someone hit it into the glove in LF.

its not MLB thats doing that. Morneau, Griffey and Fielder all are league leaders in Hrs. its just the way its working, and bonds built that park so thats why hes invited

 

but it will be a nice hr derby for those willing to sit in that water

of course a righty would have to be the favorite considering how tough that ballpark is for lefties

Meh. I can only take so much of friggin' Chris Berman, BUT if Griffey and Bonds were participating I'd definitely watch.

comment_914883

I'll watch like i do every year...look forward to berman (ya i kinda like him, doesnt really annoy me, same with dick vitale)

If Griffey is in it, even if he doesnt win, will make my day.

I can watch that guy bat all day long, love that swing...

comment_914885

Griffey should accept, he's had some memorable performances in the past and he's exciting to watch in the derby.

 

Bonds almost has to accept, it's his stadium and the fans want to see him hit homeruns. However, I can see him rejecting the invitation since he's a giant douche.

Ding Ding Ding.....i'll be watching it in mute.

Anyone ever watch the original Home Run Derby TV show on ESPN Classic? Damn that show was cool.

 

Too bad ESPN Classic quick showing so many old baseball games.

Can't wait for the yearly Reggie Jackson appearance midway through. Man he sucks.

Wait a sec...how is Howard gonna be in the HR derby when he isn't even an all-star?

 

 

 

defending champions get the 1st invite back. even if they arent on the team. its just something mlb does. (kinda like a perk)

Id love to see Vlad in it. His HR swing is the best

 

im not knocking you, but griffey has the best swing in baseball history

 

so lets say vlad has the best righty swing and griffey is the best lefty swing

:lol

 

There is NOTHING pretty about Vladdy's swing! It is the absolute worst swing in baseball which is what makes it's effectiveness so confounding!

ya lol, vlad's swing ain't pretty but he hits balls that are inches off the ground/ eye level/foot outside over the fence...beast

 

 

i'd say the prettiest righty swing goes to troy glaus
