Entry 490: Home Run Derby

Monday night was the All Star Workout Day and Home Run Derby and we were both really excited for it. We decided to tailgate which is always fun, but Lance decided to show people his disappointment that Billy Butler was not in the home run derby.

A little background knowledge for those of you who don't know the whole Billy Butler home run derby saga. The man who chose who was going to compete in the home run derby was a man named Robinson Cano who plays for the Yankees. He said twice in May during television interviews that he would pick a Royals slugger if he was chosen for the All Star Game. Well Billy Butler was chosen for the All Star Game and he currently has 16 home runs and for some reason Cano went back on his word and didn't chose him for the home run derby. All of Kansas City was upset and Lance was one of them as you can see from his sign above. The home run derby was fun and 40,000 people booed Robinson Cano which was amazing to see. The highlight for both of us though was listening to the Zac Brown Band before the derby.
