Because you can put the Home Run Derby trophy on your bookshelf

July 22, 2014

Unless you’re too injured.

I don’t know about you, but I think the Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game is a colossal waste of time. As power-hitting professional athletes, hitting batting practice speed balls, you should expect them to hit it over the wall.

But the upshot is injury. The Colorado Rockies’  Justin Morneau, who hit two in the first round and did not advance, has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a neck injury. Just sayin’. And he’s not the first to suffer a second-half letdown after appearing in HRD.

And then there’s Chris Berman.

One more time, Chris?

Sorry, once more?

(Not actually from HRD, but what the heck.)
