I found the video of Johnson throwing over Kruk’s head, but I couldnt find the one with Larry Walker.

I dont think so. It would be quite the site to behold, I imagine. Especially at yankee stadium. I think hes capable of hitting one out of there.

Thanks, Moondog.

Ernie, I was thinking the same thing. Has Dunn ever been in a Home Run Derby? I can’t think of one he’s been in, and it’s a shame.

You know how in the dunk contest they dont always have the best players in them, but the best dunkers (Dee Brown). I think they should do something similar with the home run derby. Wouldnt you like to see guys like Adam Dunn, Wily Mo Pena, and Pat Burrell taking cuts at batting practice fastballs? I think it would be pretty awesome.

The All-Star game voting is a complete farce. Allowing people to vote up to 25 times is completely stupid. I could understand two or three times given the fact you may want to include someone worthy, but when poorly educated voters have some of the players you mentioned leading at their positions, it’s ridiculous.

It’s counter-productive too. Considering the game has a bearing on home field advantage, you’d think the voters would want the most-deserving players on the team to give the NL a chance to win.

Based on the voting to this point, I doubt the AL has anything to worry about. How many is it? 11 in a row?

Nice scribble.
