It was the last great homer show in the old Yankee Stadium. And it forever transformed Josh Hamilton into a magical baseball figure. OK, so officially, he may not have "won" this Derby (Justin Morneau did). But when Hamilton launched 28 home runs in one round, he deposited a Derby performance in our memory banks that ranks above all the others. Bef...
We take you back to another time, a different era, when Big Mac was still baseball's most beloved, almost-mythical figure. And nine months after breaking the 70-homer barrier, he turned Fenway into his own personal Derby stage. He, too, didn't "win" this Derby. (Ken Griffey Jr. did.) But in the first round, McGwire terrorized New Englanders from Ke...
In his regular life, Abreu is a man who has never hit more than 31 home runs in one season. So it's safe to say he wasn't your best bet in Vegas to go out and hit 41 Derby homers in one night. But stuff happens sometimes in Home Run Derbies. And it sure happened this night. Of Abreu's first 14 swings, 10 left the park. One hit the facing of the upp...
There were no big, black, PED clouds swirling over either of these men back in 1996. But there sure were a lot of home runs swirling around old Veterans Stadium, as baseball's two pre-eminent mashers put on maybe the greatest Derby duel ever. Before they came along, the Derby was just another All-Star sideshow. They almost personally catapulted it ...
He was 87 miles up the interstate from his home turf. And Slammin' Sammy Sosa knew just what he was there for. So he took over Milwaukee's first Derby as only he could. In the first round, Sosa squashed 12 home runs. And while that was only tied, at the time, for the third-biggest round ever, this was one round you needed to measure in mileage, not...
Any time you hear somebody in baseball whine about how the Derby screws up a guy's swing, we want to refer you to the great Calvin Edwin Ripken Jr. Anyone remember who the MVP was in 1992? It was Ripken, all right. And he openly admitted that, in the course of hitting a then-record 12 home runs in 22 swings on the way to winning this Derby, he foun...
As long as we're ranting about the Derby Curse being a myth, what better time to bring up Ryan Howard? This was the year he joined Ripken and became the second man to win a Derby and an MVP trophy in the same season. And he, too, might not have won it if it weren't for his triumph in the most water-logged Derby ever. On a Pittsburgh night when 15 b...
It was the only Derby ever held at an altitude normally reserved for Boeing 767s. But what we remember most about it was a transformation that took place at an altitude of 75 inches -- the approximate location of Griffey's brain lobes. And it was there that a very famous lightning-bolt hit -- and led Griffey to winning this Derby. Beforehand, our m...
You know you've hit a memorable home run when the place where it landed is preserved, even though the stadium it was hit in lost a rendezvous with dynamite years ago. And that's a 100 percent true story in the case of the home run Thomas launched in this Derby -- an upper-deck lunar orbiter to left-center, ninesections over from the foul pole. It w...
A funny thing happened to this Derby, which was supposed to feature every active member of the 500 Home Run Club: It came down to two guys who didn't have 500 homers combined. It was the winner, Tejada, who would set records for most home runs in one round (15, in Round 2) and in one Derby (27). But it was the hometown hero, Berkman, who set an uno...
