Who wins the 2008 Home Run Derby in Yankee Stadium?

Note - If there is a last minute scratch, the replacement player will assume the original player's spot for the vBet.
 
Wow. I didn't realize how much I had dialed back my interest in baseball. I can still rattle off the starting lineups for half the teams in the majors in 1960 - but I don't know who half those guys are.

I'm excited to see Josh Hamilton in the Home Run Derby. The kid has some amazing talent.

He's my favorite. I remember hearing stories about his batting practice performances back when he was a (Devil) Ray in their farm system, as well as last season when he was playing for the Reds. I like Utley and Braun as well, though. This should be a really great competition. I thought Vlad was going to be in it?

FIX!!! Thought this bet was open til 9pm???

Someone trying to be tricky to prevent a certain someone from betting???

When I made the bet, it was set up to close at 7 p.m. Central time (only mods can see that when creating/editing the vbet). For some reason, at the top of the page, it was open an hour later than that, something I didn't notice until after I placed my bets just before 8 p.m. Eastern. Since the event was set to start at 8 Eastern, I had to edit the ending time shortly after 8 p.m. to close the vBet, so bets couldn't be placed after it started.

Sorry about the glitch - I've seen it happen a couple of times before.

Edit - When I changed it to close the vbet I typed in 7 p.m. Central, but at the top of the vbet it says 2 p.m. Central.

Edit - I had to change both baseball bets for Tuesday, so they close at 8 p.m. Eastern - they had the same issue.

Grady hit some BOMBS!!! Could have had at least 2 more, but he pulled them just foul

That one to the third deck was huge and the one looked like it was head out of the stadium but was knocked down by a fan. It's gonna be real tough for a righty to win this. Hamilton is gonna put on a clinic.
