Big Papi Wins Forgettable Home Run Derby After Corey Hart Fizzles
By Tim Ryan
Were guys like Adam Dunn really that busy last night? I’m guessing him and the dude from the Big League Chew pack were out busting up a bar, but that could’ve easily been done afterward. Major League Baseball would be wise to figure out a way to lure the cartoon characters like him, Pujols and Howard back to the competition and force the home run leaders from the AL and NL to participate in this event.
And if they can’t do that, they need to revamp the whole enchilada and spice it up by inviting retired clowns like Jose Canseco, John Kruk, Pete Incaviglia, Darryl Strawberry and everyone who appeared in that infamous Simpsons episode. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t be glued to the TV if those guys came marching onto the field.
