Do you know who won the 1987 Home Run Derby? How about the 2007 derby? Or even the 2015 derby? I ask this to prove a point. The derby is fun, it’s one of my favorite events of the year, but aside from a few memorable ones, we tend to forget who won each derby. After it ends, we simply don’t talk about it anymore. But you know what we do talk about? Records.
Julio did not win the 2023 T-Mobile Home Run Derby. I don’t care who did. Instead, he did something that we’re going to talk about for longer.
