No, I didn't watch the Home Run Derby.

Due to a rain delay, the derby didn't start until after 9:00. I watched the first two guys hit a couple of home runs each, listened to that dingbat Berman prattle on about things not even vaguely related to baseball and then I fell asleep.

All-in-all, it worked out pretty well for me. I got a good nights sleep and I didn't have to hear Berman say "BACK, BACK, BACK, BACK!" at all.
