The MLB All Star Break, the Midsummer Classic, whatever you prefer to call it, we have reached that glorious week in the summer when all eyes are on baseball. All other sports have concluded for the year and it's not late enough in the summer for people to move their focus on to football… It is in my opinion the best time of the year. MLB has long been applauded for having the best opportunity to show off their talent, the Home Run Derby. There is something about the Derby that is almost as American as the sport itself, Chevrolet, and apple pie. Every little kid has a memory of going out into the backyard and playing wiffle ball Home Run Derby, dreaming of one day doing it on the big stage. Each baseball fan has their own unique memory of watching a Derby moment, whether it was Josh Hamilton’s impressive display of 28 homers in a row in 2008, or Bryce Harper winning as the hometown participant with his dad pitching to him in 2019.
