    Although some players say the event can be one of the most nerve racking exprierences, I think Berkman will win it, because it is very hard to rattle him, and he always looks so comfortable in the box. No Fear!!
    Go Berkman!! :)

    I'm pulling for Berkman also. I just hope he doesn't swing through one, now that would really be embarrasing.

    Where did Berkman go to college?

    Oh yeah. No surprise.

    I was being nice... The last 4 swings looked like he had given up.

    The announcers are right. The player has to learn and be expereienced in the Derby to win it. Berkman really didn't take any pitches and seemed nervous. Oh well if the fans care, there is always next season- if there is one.

    Lance didn't take any pitches. He must've been nervous. Sosa was amazing, even though he didn't win, he stole the show, until the last round. When Giambi hit 7 I thought that Sosa would smoke him, but he was just as bad as Lance in the last round.

    Who cares if he only hit one in the Derby, he has 29 that actually count!
