Well, our boy Chase Utley didn't fare so well in tonight's home run derby. But we did get to see quite a show from the comeback kid, the Rangers' Josh Hamilton.
Hamilton belted 28 home runs to set a new single round home run derby record. More impressive though was the distance his homers traveled. Hamilton's story is definitely one of the better comeback stories in recent memory so it was nice to see this guy have his moment.
As I write this, we're still in the second round of this thing. Regardless of who ends up winning, Josh Hamilton will definitely be the highlight of this year's derby. Surely, we'll see these highlights for years to come.

Why is this Hamilton guy a hero just because he is a former drug addict? Can I be the voice of reason to say how stupid he must be to become mixed up with that stuff in the first place? The story is becoming annoying to me. The home runs were definitely impressive, but enough with this sob story. It is his own fault that he was out of baseball.
I agree Jorge. I was getting ill over the love fest for the crack head. I almost blew a gasket when they started playing the Rocky theme for him.
George, well put. While a heart-warming story of triumph over personal issues it was a little much. Man can that guy hit the ball though.
