The 2009 NL Home Run Derby Participants
The Q Beat
The All-Star Game will be played in St. Louis next week, but for a lot of baseball fans the game itself is secondary to some of the other events
that take place during the break. The main attraction for many fans is the Home Run Derby, which will take place the Monday night before the game.
Today it was announced who the four sluggers representing the senior circuit will be and there’s definitely a theme to the National League’s “roster.” All four participants are power-hitting first baseman from around the league. Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder, Adrian Gonzalez and Ryan Howard will all put on what should be a rather entertaining show.
The American League will announce its participants later.
