bombs away

Last night, Ryan Howard won the Century 21 Home Run Derby. There was no controversy, just winning in dominate fashion. After just barely making it past the first round, he never looked back. He hit 23 home runs, six of those going out of the park and into the Allegheny River. Howard, in just his second year in the big leagues, proved himself as one of the greatest hitters in the game. I must admit, he was my pick going into the contest, and sure didn't let me down.
