5 Ways To Improve the Home Run Derby

Let's be honest for a moment. The home run derby is a disaster. It's too long and becomes boring and tedious because home runs aren't that exciting after you've seen 100's of them in the first two hours. Never fear though. I'm here to offer some subtle changes to the home run derby that will hopefully give that event some zest.

1. Surround the batters with man eating tigers. Wouldn't you want to see Prince Fielder trying to hit a home run before a tiger devoured him?

2.  Instead of hitting baseballs, let the hitters hit fruit. Exploding watermelons and cantaloupes are exciting............at least to Gallagher.

3. Hold a branding iron near their asses when hitting. If they don't hit a home run, brand the teams logo right on their ass. I bet they would hit a home run for every pitch they see with a hot branding iron near their ass. 

4. Winner gets Derek Jeter's left-over road beef.

5.  Inspired from the movie "Wicker Man", place a basket around the head of the hitters and fill it with bees.
