    I'm biased, but I definitely want to see Pedro Alvarez in the derby. I don't know of anyone in MLB with as much raw power as he has.

    No Reds hopefully. The Derby can screw up a player's swing sometimes, it seems like.

    I always thought it'd be cool to have an Alumni HR Derby. Bring some retired players back and see which ones still got it.

    Jose Canseco!!! He can knock some bombs and let us know all about his theories of gravity! What a win-win

    (for as much as I'm j/k, I have to admit, it WOULD be quite "entertaining", a word that I unfortunately can not use to describe a lot of recent HR derbys).

    Has Dunn ever been in it? Can't recall, but I don't remember him getting to participate before.
    Rounding third and heading for home...

    Never understood why Dunn never partook. Sure, he strikes out a bunch but so what? The dude has PRODIGIOUS power that would surely please the populace.

    Back when he was still with the Reds, Dunn said that he would never participate unless he was an All-Star. I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to give up my 3-day mini-vacation to be part of a circus sideshow if I wasn't going to be on the team.
    Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.

    Now that you mention that, I do recall him saying that. Thanks
