Home Run Derby Contest Results

By Leave a Comment

Last year we ran a Home Run Derby Contest on our now extinct forums, and I never got around to figuring out and posting the results of that contest. I always felt bad about that, because CC/DB user ezcollectibles sent me a complete set of 2011 Topps Series I baseball cards to award to the winner. The cards sit here on my bookshelf next to me, unopened, and eager to meet their rightful owner.

Well, when I dumped the forums, I made sure I saved the entire thread for the contest to capture all of the entries. The contest was essentially a box pool, with ten different groups of five mashers in each group. Pick who you think will be the top home run getter from each group. Most home runs win. Check the two screen captures of my post (one, two) with the rules and players.

And we have a winner! Congrats to smokeyspop who finished first with 314 homers. Second was hellcat with 304 and third, mpr001 with 299. I earned the proud distinction of being the top entry that took a zero in one category, selecting Kendrys Morales in the “Pick Your Poison” group (no kidding). Our top three entries all picked Aramis Ramirez in that category for a 26 homer swing from Morales.

A perfect entry would have earned 349 homers consisting of the top player and their individual home run total for each group listed below.

AL Big Bats Jose Bautista, TOR 43
NL Big Bats Prince Fielder, MIL 38
Free Swingers Mark Reynolds, BAL 37
Flash in the Pan? Mike Stanton, FLA 34
Speed and Pop Matt Kemp, LAD 39
Bounce Back Nelson Cruz, TEX 29
Four Yankees and a Blue Jay Curtis Granderson, NYY 41
Pick Your Poison Aramis Ramirez, CHC 26
Primetime Players Evan Longoria, TB 31
Grab Bag Paul Konerko, CHW 31
