Monday afternoon, the Northwoods League held their annual Home Run Derby in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This was no ordinary Home Run Derby, however.

After receiving permission from the City of Kenosha, players took their hacks on a pier and hit balls into Lake Michigan. A buoy line was laid out to replicate the outfield dimensions of Simmons Field, home of the All-Star Game host team, the Kenosha Kingfish.

Here's a photo of the Home Run Derby via Reddit user zjl3:
