Posted July 3, 200717 yr comment_914870 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
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914872 If they both accept, its gonna be the young studs against the old studs.
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914873 Glad MLB is doin something neat. In inviting lefty to send must HR into the water, i dunno if anyone notice that?
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914874 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.
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914875 I think it's pretty cool that almost all of those names are left-handed.
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914876 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. That would have to be a hell of a shot!!
July 3, 200717 yr Author comment_914879 Glad MLB is doin something neat. In inviting lefty to send must HR into the water, i dunno if anyone notice that? 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
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914880 Glad MLB is doin something neat. In inviting lefty to send must HR into the water, i dunno if anyone notice that? of course a righty would have to be the favorite considering how tough that ballpark is for lefties
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914881 Wait a sec...how is Howard gonna be in the HR derby when he isn't even an all-star?
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914882 Meh. I can only take so much of friggin' Chris Berman, BUT if Griffey and Bonds were participating I'd definitely watch.
July 3, 200717 yr 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...
July 3, 200717 yr 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.
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914886 Wait a sec...how is Howard gonna be in the HR derby when he isn't even an all-star?
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914887 Meh. I can only take so much of friggin' Chris Berman, BUT if Griffey and Bonds were participating I'd definitely watch. Ding Ding Ding.....i'll be watching it in mute.
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914888 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.
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914889 Can't wait for the yearly Reggie Jackson appearance midway through. Man he sucks.
July 3, 200717 yr Author comment_914890 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)
July 3, 200717 yr Author comment_914891 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
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914892 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!
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914893 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
July 3, 200717 yr comment_914894 let me clarify.. grif has the prettiest swing. Vlads is just violently awesome
