As the MLB All Star festivities get underway, the league is faced with a bit of an issue. This year, the Home Run Derby is, well, a little redundant. The entire season has been a home run derby. Is it juiced balls? Is it bad pitching? Is it the return of ‘roids? The leading theory is that hitters are just trying to hit the ball higher. Seriously. (Props to my San Francisco Giants for being contrarians and bucking this season’s trend.)
