Unlike both the American League and the National League, I think I can call who’s winning our Home Run Debry contest. The Great Hambino has a seven Home Run lead over Master-Batters, and that should be enough to say he’s clinched the Derby.
Here’s who’s a going concern.
| Team | Full Season | Team | 2nh Half |
|---|---|---|---|
| 499 | The Great Hambino (3) | 244 | Empire of Dirt |
| 492 | The Master-Batters (2) | 240 | The Great Hambino (3) |
| 491 | Empire of Dirt | 237 | Bash Brothers |
| 489 | Triple Crown (1) | 235 | Suck It |
| 487 | Suck It | 224 | 1908 Cubs |
Still a four-way race for second and third place in the full year board. Let’s break down the differnces between the top five in the full year race.
| The Great Hambino | The Master-Batters | Empire of Dirt | Triple Crown | Suck It |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| David Ortiz | David Ortiz | David Ortiz | Andruw Jones | David Ortiz |
| Manny Ramirez | Manny Ramirez | Manny Ramirez | Carlos Lee | Carlos Lee |
| Justin Morneau | Richie Sexson | Matt Holliday | Jason Bay | Richie Sexson |
| Vladimir Guerrero | Justin Morneau | Vladimir Guerrero | Justin Morneau | Matt Holliday |
| Pat Burrell | Pat Burrell | Miguel Tejada | Chase Utley | Chase Utley |
| Miguel Cabrera | Miguel Cabrera | Miguel Cabrera | Miguel Cabrera | Adam Laroche |
| Garrett Atkins | Gary Sheffield | Garrett Atkins | Grady Sizemore | Garrett Atkins |
| David Wright | Barry Bonds | Barry Bonds | David Wright | Adrian Beltre |
Remember, if there’s a playoff on Monday with a postseason berth at stake, any Home Runs hit in the game(s) will count towards our Derby standings.
