      the most putrid producing of a homerun derby, why are we seeing close-ups of the batter's face while they're pitching it??? the camera is panning all over the place, I'm not seeing that traditional broadcast view, who the eff was directing this production?!?!?! awful

      I'm from Cincinnati Ohio. My dad started taking me to Reds games when I was 7 years old. I was fortunate enough to see Ken Griffey Play with The Big Red Machine. True Jr. Has a Great swing, but I think that he got it from his dad! Lol. My friend lived across the street from Bobby Tolan(d) and lots of the Reds used to come over his house and have a beer. My brother's played knothole with Johnny Bench's nephew's and Johnny came to a couple of games. I played baseball with Gordy Coleman's son, and Dave Parker's little brother!

    I'm convinced this era was MLBs greatest times in my lifetime. Baseball card collecting was awesome, and it had value then. MLB had a LOT of swag and drama. Can you imagine if these players played now, they'd get "plunked" soo many times for their strutting from home runs?

    -Ken Griffey Jr was the superhero,
    -Juan Gonzalez was THE first Alex Rodriguez

      Best era by far. Forget about the juice, nobody knew until 10 years later, it was just a fun era. I’m a little biased, but the greatest World Series ever played in ‘91. The McGuire vs Sosa battle was must-see TV. Me and my buddies would have our own home run derbies and pretend we were McGuire or Griffey or Bonds, trying to copy their swings. Back when groups of kids still did that kind of thing. Love this video, brings back great memories!

      The Lurp maybe but i don’t think so. he was the best player of the 1990’s. 3 mvps pre roids, tons of attention and praise. it wasn’t until sosa and mcgwire had an unfair edge on him and made him look like a worse player that he decided to. at least that’s what the well documented story is.
