Last night the Texas Rangers’ Josh Hamilton put on a show during the All-Star Home Run Derby by hitting 28 home runs in the first round. Hamilton broke the previous record set by Bobby Aberu and received multiple standing ovations from the crowd at Yankee Stadium, and praises from his fellow All-Stars, for the display of power. Unfortunately, Hamilton was a little worn out and struggled in the final two rounds, coming in second to Justin Morneau.
As the All-Star Game starts in only a couple hours, Hamilton will be trying to make it 11 straight wins for the AL. Check it out on FOX at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST.

That was pretty fuckin’ amazing. I think it is kind of bullshit that he had the most home runs but finished second.
