Back Back Back...David Ortiz Wins The HR Derby!

David Ortiz takes home the title of winner at this year's 2010 State Farm Homerun Derby. In the first round, Ortiz put up 8 homeruns and in the second round, Ortiz put up 13 homeruns. In the final round, Ortiz hit 11 homeruns.

Milwaukee player Corey Hart hit an impressive 13 homeruns in the first round but because he hit 0 in the second round, he was eliminated from the competition.

Our very own Yankee Nick Swisher hit 4 homeruns in the first round and was eliminated after that round. Swisher enjoyed the experience as well as fellow Yankees, Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano, who enjoyed a nice laugh when Swisher foul tipped the ball for an out.

Ramirez and Cabrera both showed great power in their hitting as they also put on a show.

Despite all of the drama this week with Cano's backing out of the derby and criticism of the "lack of talent", it was good-natured, fun event that everyone enjoyed.

Tomorrow is the much anticipated All Star Game. Good luck to all...but really the American League.

XOXO,
Whitney
