PHOENIX, A.Z. — On this date in 2011, former Yankee Robinson Cano blasted 32 home runs at Chase Field to win the MLB home run derby.

Cano hit 8 homeruns in the first round, enough to make his way to the second round where he crushed another 12 brining his total to 20. The two time all-star then out hit Boston Red Sox Adrian Gonzalez 12 to 11 in the final round. Cano crushed more bombs than big name stars such as Matt Holiday, Prince Fielder, David Ortiz and Jose Bautista to make his way to the final round.

The left-handed hitting second baseman used his bat speed and power to hit some serious moon shots in to and over the right field seats.
