Just got done watching the Home run Derby, nice job Vlad. Vlad, you know, spent some of his minor leagues on City Island with the Senators. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to see him play there. I did, however, remember a Senators game a few years back and thinking "Why is that first baseman playing in AA?" The team; the Reading Phillies, the player; Ryan Howard. At that time he had 28 homers already and I think he got the call in September. Ryan won it all last year. My son's current favorite, Albert Pujols, missed the finals by "that much". This picture is from 2000 or 2001 and is the Ironman, Cal Ripken Jr. Cal won the Home run Derby back in 1991 and another Orioles shortstop took it when Miggi Tejada won in 2004.
