As we gear up for the MLB All-Star break, we have quite a few other festivities to cover leading up to the showcase of the best of the American and National leagues.
In addition to the Futures Game, the Home Run Derby draws a lot of fan interest.
This is an event in which eight of the most powerful hitters get together to demonstrate their power in a competition to see who the home-run-hitting king is.
While we won't have last year's defending champion in New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge out there, we still have eight excellent competitors.
