NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK and HOUSTON, TEXAS (July 14, 2008) Here is the batting order for the State Farm Home Run Derby at the 2008 MLB All Star Game in Yankee Stadium in New York City.
1. Dan Uggla-Florida Marlins
2. Grady Sizemore-Cleveland Indians
3. Chase Utley-Philadelphia Phillies
4. Evan Longoria-Tampa Bay Rays
5. Lance Berkman-Houston Astros
6. Justin Morneau-Minnesota Twins
7. Ryan Braun-Milwaukee Brewers
8. Josh Hamilton-Texas Rangers
I am picking Lance Berkman to win it all. I have to pick him as he IS an Astro and the Astros need to win soemthing this year.
Here are the rules for the contest:
Opening Round
• Each player gets 10 outs to hit as many home runs as possible.
• The four players with the most home runs hit in the Opening Round advance to the Semi-Final Round.
Semi-Final Round
• Home runs totals from the first round will carry over to the second round.
• Each player gets 10 outs to hit as many home runs as possible per at bat.
• The two players with the most home runs in the Semi-Final Round advance to the Championship Round.
Championship Round
• Home runs from the first two rounds do not carry over to the Championship Round; Opening and Semi-Final Round totals are cleared from the board.
• Each player gets 10 outs to hit as many home runs as possible.
• The player who hits the most home runs in the Championship Round is declared the Home Run Derby champion.
Rules
• An out is registered when a player swings at a pitch and does not hit a home run.
• A ball hit over the fence must be fair to count as a home run.
I will update the results after the first round.
