Morneau in HR Derby

Morneau joins the Rangers' Josh Hamilton, the Rays' Evan Longoria and the Indians' Grady Sizemore as the AL representatives. The Astros' Lance Berkman, the Brewers' Ryan Braun, the Marlins' Dan Uggla and the Phillies' Chase Utley will compete for the National League.


A lot of lefties. Only Longoria, Uggla, and Braun are righties (Berkman is switchie).

Haha, i wasn't around to watch this but my dad told me Josh Hamilton won. That's how impressive he was. Morneau the oportunist just did what he had to to win. Nice job and congrats.

Hamilton was the best batting practice homerun hitter out there, but he wasn't trying to win the thing. Congrats to Morneau for playing it right.
