So in case you don’t follow baseball, or if you do and have been living under a rock for the last week, Major League Baseball’s All-star rosters have been announced. Not only that, but the participants for the annual Home Run Derby have been announced.
Now among these, you’ll see the popular picks like Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge, but there’s one other name on there that should catch your eye: Charlie Blackmon.
For those who don’t follow baseball (specifically college), Blackmon is one of Tech’s most successful alumni in the MLB. The 31-year-old centerfielder got his start on the Flats after transferring from Young Harris in 2006.
