Astros triple crown contender Yordan Álvarez said he won’t participate “this year” to The Athletic.
Most importantly though, the moonshot contest is good, clean fun.
“The Home Run Derby is the best night of the baseball season,” Fox Sports wrote in 2021.
“If you ever get the chance to go, you have to. It’s the best. There’s no lull the whole night..the energy in the ballpark is pure baseball joy. And actually, unless you’re 7 feet tall and really want to fight for a baseball, I recommend sitting in the upper deck behind home plate instead of the outfield. The view from that angle is absolutely spectacular. You get to watch the line drives whizz and the moonshots float.”
