He's a stud. Of all the players in this contest, he could go on to have the best career... well, he and Hamilton assuming Hamilton stays healthy and keeps it together.

That's a bold statement considering Utley could go down as the best hitting 2B of all time.

Hamilton just crushes a 502 foot shot to center!

2 homeruns, 1 out.

WOW!

 

[mross34]

Hamilton drills out his 9th. Still has 5 more outs to go. Will likely have a big cushion going into round 2.

I can't remember ever being this happy for a pro athlete. This is great to watch.

Where was that ump for Jeffrey Maier with a Derek Jeter ball in 1996?

Where's Tony Tarrasco when you need him?

Hamilton drills out his 14th. Still has 3 to go.

Definitely look like the early favorites.

Until Hamilton stepped up to the plate. Holy shit!

 

[mross34]

Hamilton drills one to the batter's eye in center. 497 feet. NYPD arrest 4 or 5 hooligans.

Hamilton drills his 18th to the 3rd deck!

this is awesome.

Morgan made a good point. Hamilton will get a bye to the final unless two guys can pass his total in round two, which looks unlikely with each bomb. That would be a definite advantage, having seen guys run out of gas in these things.

Dude's going apeshit - 28 fucking HRs and still batting!

Hamilton takes one at the ankles out to right field.
