BALTIMORE -- It was 1992 all over again. Despite some playful trash talking the day prior, Brady Anderson, the current Orioles vice president of baseball operations, edged Sam Horn, 5-4, in Saturday's 25th Anniversary Home Run Derby.

The pair, who were joined by Joe Orsulak, Sam Horn and Chris Hoiles in the home run hitting contest, were then honored as part of the inaugural team at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in a special pregame ceremony before Saturday's game against the Angels.

The participants each got 10 swings in Round 1. They received one point for hitting the ball in the air past a roped-off area 300-feet deep in the outfield.
