Home Run Derby

Welcome to the marauding invaders from that site of all sites, the mightly DEADSPIN !  I wonder which Baseball Cheerleading post got linked - Team Fredbird, Marlins Mermaids, or the Pad Squad - hmmm.

We’ve got Scotty giving the site all she’s got to keep up. 

If you’re here for the first time, there’s more than just cheerleaders here.  Thanks for visiting. 

Come back soon.

Are up to date …

By the way, the weather’s great today.

Get off the computer and go outside.

Maybe catch a ballgame.  Major League, Minor League, College, High School, or just down the block for Little League practice.

Play Ball!

… and the HomerDerby Home Run Derby contest deadline (April 2, 12PM CDT). Less than two weeks before the entry form is due! Entry forms are rolling in.

And the Online Entry Form is LIVE.  Big thanks to The Domer for getting the page up and running.

Apparently Google Adsense thinks we’re running a Human Resources Derby here at HomerDerby.com

There’s a forum now … so go at it.  You will need to register on the site before you can post anything in the forums.

It’s only a matter of time until the ultimate one-sided HomerDerby debate starts back up …

  I had a great April/May 2005.  I was the best Shortstop in Major League Baseball.  I was gonna be the NL Rookie of the Year.  

    You couldn’t carry my groceries.

Welcome to HomerDerby.com, the site of everyone’s favorite Home Run Derby.

Watch the site over the next 52 days as we get closer to Spring Training and ultimately Opening Day on Monday, April 2, 2007.

The official HRD Rules and the 2007 Home Run Derby Player Groups are up. Most of them are linked to Sportsline’s player pages so you can do some fabulous research before submitting your picks. I’m working on the Online Entry Form - with any luck, we’ll be good to go before the season begins.
