By the way, this was the worst weather conditioned Homerun Derby in history. It has never rained in one before. The balls were soaked and did not carry, the batters box was so slippery especually in the lefty box and actually the only spot that is slippery in the left side is where Rudy stands. Overall i'd say decent to poor pitching and bad weather as it rained the entire day from early 8:00 AM to right now 8:00 PM. Warm day you would of seen Rudy with the crown, or CH, Neuman if they could of made it.
