HOME RUN DERBY WINNER & ALL-STAR GAME MVP
Texas Toast's Harvey Dickinson had one hell of an All-Star Game Weekend. In total, he hit 42 home runs over the two-day period - 40 en route to the Home Run Derby title and another two in the ASG.
Dickinson's two homers and five RBIs in his first two at-bats helped the NL to a 10-5. The game featured nine home runs from eight different players. Also, 14 of the 15 runs scored came by way of the home run.
In the Home Run Derby, Dickinson beat out Colorado's two-time Derby Champ Bill Perry 12-9 in the final round. Both players totaled 40 home runs for the competition and Perry belted the longest shot of the day, a 531-foot blast down the right field line.
