abstract:A Home Run Derby is a batting competition in baseball to see who can hit the most home runs. In the 1960s there was Home Run Derby (TV series) featuring the competition.
The party plans include five days of fanfare, including All-Star players parading along 42nd Street on a massive red carpet, player appearances and baseball clinics at the Javits Center convention facility, and, of course, the annual homerunderby at Citi Field.
The Yankees' All-Star was booed mercilessly for the second straight night by Royals fans who no doubt still remember his decision to snub Butler for the AL squad during last year's homerunderby, which was hosted by the Royals as part of All-Star festivities.
