Like seriously: Ill end up watching probably, because it's always fun to see who wins, but once you've seen a HR you've seen one...not that grea.t.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NYK @ Jul 7 2007, 09:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>why not AROD</div>I don't think A-rod has ever cared about the home run derby. He hasn't played in one since 2002 and he only hit 4 homers when you combined his totals from the 2001 derby and 2002 derby. Plus he is fighting off an injury.Just imagine if he aggravated his injury in a exhibition like the derby or the game itself, those blood sucking yankee homers would be riding him like they did all off-season.

Other than that, no reason to really watch it.
I'll probably watch it but I won't get into it.It will never be the same since the steroids thing has come out.My favorite derby though was 1999 because it was at Fenway and my favorite player Ken Griffey Jr won it
