If you didn't see the Home Run Derby last night, you missed an exciting event. At least Josh Hamilton's part in the first round. He put on one of the most exciting shows I've seen in a long time. Josh hit 28 home runs in the first round - and these were not cheap shots - 3 of them went over 500 feet. He was in such a groove it's just a shame that he lost in the finals to Justin Morneau. The crowd at Yankee Stadium was chanting his name - it must have been pretty special considering how far Josh Hamilton has come in the last few years. He was the #1 choice in the 1999 draft but after getting in a car accident, his career was derailed by drug addiction. He has come a long way, let's hope he's able to stay clean and enjoy his major league career.
