Home Run Derby Drama
If you watched the Homerun Derby last night you were treated to a great performance from the likes of Trumbo, Batista, and the champion Prince Fielder. There were some monster shots and plenty of fountain balls all night long. However, the "signature" moment of the night was, with out a doubt, the booing and mock cheers of the KC fans as Robinson Cano swung his way to 0 homeruns.For those who may not know the whole story, the KC faithful were upset at Cano, the AL team captain, for not choosing Billy Butler of the Kansas City Royals to participate in the derby. Therefore they booed the whole time he hit, and cheered every time he made an out.
There have been a ton of comments supporting and vilifying the KC fan base. So I figured I'd throw my two cents in. Full disclaimer, as an long term fan of the Orioles, I have no love for the Yankees...
