Lots of pulled muscles. Make em run the bases at the end
Maybe. Some of them have been out of the game than others making it somewhat hard to judge them against each other. I mean imagine them getting out Vlad Guerrero for him to lose badly to Pujols because Pujols is a bit more ready being out only a short stint.
Fun? Sure. Fair? Probably not.
give me thome or give me death
I think this would be incredibly disappointing in reality.
This would be terrible. They’re old men.
barry bonds post steroids ?!
Ortiz and Pujols are cheaters. They should be excluded.
Bro no
As a Mariners fan I’m incredibly insulted that this wouldn’t have been introduced this year with Griffey hitting a home run derby in Seattle. What a missed opportunity. It almost makes me not want this to happen.
Pete Alonzo is going to announce that he’s retiring today.
Y’all are so boring. Yes they are older but it would still be amazing to see some of the greats compete in a derby.
Who the fuck didn’t put Barry fucking bonds in this graphic?
I hope they go back to the old rules then. Seeing an absolutely gassed old man swimming for the fences would not make for good television lol
All living season HR leaders are required to play. Gorman Thomas, you’re up.
I would find it pretty *boring*. One more way to reduce the All Star Game to total *irrelevance.*
How’s the kid that got beaned in the noggin?
Perhaps some of these would be dingers would be easier to get a glove on.
Not so much HR Derby…..maybe a long drive contest.
Maybe team them with a current player and take the total score…just in case
This would be fun to watch. They might have to bring in the walls a bit to help them out though lol And will probably need some physical therapist on site to assist in between rounds 🤣
I think someone would fuck up their back.
Probably would need to have a shortened fence like they had for the celebrity softball game. Maybe at 275 in the corners and 325 to center. Then if you hit over that you get 1 but if you hit over the actual fence you get 2.
I love nostalgia if they did it as maybe a slow pitch, shorter field type deal.it could work.
If they shorten the field and let them tee off 50mph pitches with aluminum bats then sure if may be entertaining
Or a legends softball HRD with the old format.
Can they still hit HRs with regulatory? I don’t want to watch Jr take 50 hacks to get three out.
Give them composite bats and juiced balls
I think they should do this, but they need to do it on a smaller field/with slow pitch softballs or something. These guys won’t be able to hit 20-30 homers in one session like before.
Could it be awesome? Sure. Unfortunately, I expect it to be a little sad…
Give me a pitchers-only HR derby you cowards
not really tbh
Here’s alternative suggestion. How about a 5’ 9’’ and under home run derby. Could include Jose Ramirez, Jose Altuve, Ozzie Albies, and more! Thought of this a few years ago and thought it sounded cool.
Just have an old-timers game. Let’s see Randy Johnson knock down some 70-year old.
This could work. Bring the fences in, short Homer counts as 1, real homer counts as two. Lower the clock and limit the thing to one round plus the top two go to the final. Two timeouts per round, or three if over 50. These guys will get gassed easily.
This will be the only thing keeping me going for the next year
How many torn back muscles? Over under is set at 8.5
Would love to see Jim-Jam mash a few taters out there again
Are they gonna let Bonds and McGuire juice up for it?
Bonds can still put them out
Unless the bats are corked, the balls are juiced, this is a horrible idea.
Please don’t.
Yeah probably not in reality tbh haha
God no.
I would hate to see Thome up there looking terrible.
