Home Run Derby - 07-14-2008, 09:06 PM


Anyone watching this tonight? Josh Hamilton just took everyone to school on how to go yard. Amazing display of power. During the first round he hit 28 homers. Wow!

Josh Hamilton came back for the second round and hit 4 more. He didn't finish the round (his choice), and then came back for the third round and only hit 3. He wound up losing to Justin Morneau, who hit 5 in the 3rd round.

The first round was amazing, though. When they added up the total distance for all of the homers that Josh hit in the first round it was over 12,000 feet. Amazing.

I was watching last night, when he hit 18 I was on the phone with my husband telling him about it, who immediately left to come home and finish watching HR Derby. . . he made it home in time for the 2nd round. But Hamilton was definitely a sight to behold last night. Very proud of him!

It was pretty awesome. You had to know he'd be spent by the final round. His story is pretty incredible and I love that he's using it to educate young kids about drugs and alcohol.
