His prize for hitting 28 is getting to be interviews by the great Erin Andrews. She was very anxious to get to him, lucky fella, what a show by him. Gammons brought up Jeff Allison who was a childhood friend of mine, story is very similar to Hamilton, he is a pitcher from Lynn,Mass who was a 1st round pick out of HS and after years of drug problems he is clean and pitching pretty good in A ball.

I hope when I'm 71 and I can throw a baseball. I give props to the pitcher.

I feel bad for Berkman and Morneau, its been so quiet since theyve been up because everyone wants to see Hamilton again.

Hamilton saved this Home Run Derby.  It's becoming like the Slam Dunk Contest, no high profile guys want to do it.  Luckily he put on an amazing, amazing show that made it worth watching.

"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

It had lost its luster the last decade or so, Hamilton definitely revitalized it (at least for the short term) tonight.

Echoes of McGwire in '99 (who didn't even make the Finals), the guy that puts on the show ends up coming up short at the end. 

Still, heck of a performance by Hamilton.
