2008 Home Run Derby

[Fist Bump]

Now a 450 ft hr will be kind of boring compared to some of the bombs Hamilton hit.

[Tank]

I thought they said one of them went 514 feet.

I don't think anybody is going to break that, not in the second round. I think he has to still hit in the final round though...

His longest one went 512 ft according to the tracker...

No. I've been choked up and in tears since he broke 20 and the crowd started chanting his name.

Yeah that was so special. Got to feel good for him and he's so inspiring. Hopefully he can , to quote the Drive By Truckers, "keep focused on the righteous path".

I always loved Reggie! Seeing him in the WS game, in '75, helps my golf swing. Every time. Firm

side!

I hope so, too. He's easily my favorite non-Oriole. It's not even close.

I'm really glad I have a ticket to an O's-Rangers game to watch him this year.

I have a ticket to an O's-Rangers game too, and I'm definitley gonna come early to see Hamilton take BP.

Here he goes again...

Yeah, absolutely.

If there's any human being that can hit the warehouse, I firmly believe that he can.

[J.D.]

Morneau is putting on a show again. Not a Hamilton show. But a show nonetheless.

[Sanfran327]

Yeah, absolutely.

If there's any human being that can hit the warehouse, I firmly believe that he can.

Remember, KGJ hit it in the HR derby...

I think Hamilton can do it in a game.

I remember that he did it. I was there. I think Hamilton can do it in a game, though.

[J.D.]

If Hamilton clears the facade, do we just call the game?
