Just as I predicted, Ryan Howard won the homerun derby tonight. I had a feeling that he would do it. Even though he had to hit 4 homeruns with 9 outs in the first round just to make it to the second round. He hit 10 more in the second round to advance to the final. In the end he hit 5 homeruns to beat David Wright’s 4. Wright put on a impressive performance in the first round, hitting 16 homeruns. He tired after that, only hitting 2 in the second round. Howard was also the first person I’ve ever seen hit the Mastercard “Hit It Here” sign, which he did with his final homerun.
Miguel Tejada could only manage 3 homeruns and didn’t advance, but one of the shots was 461 feet. Better luck in the all-star game tomorrow night Miggy. I predict a national league win, 7-4. I think the MVP will be Albert Pujols. (Shocker, I know)
