Home run derby for fans today at Citizens Bank Park

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Local baseball fans got a chance to feel like a pro and live out their major league dreams for a good cause today.

The Phillies hosted the annual "Richie Ashburn Memorial Home Runs for Heart" derby at Citizens Bank Park.

It's the 18th year for the event.

Fans get a chance to swing from home plate, catch fly balls, and take a tour of the stadium.

All of the money raised goes to the American Heart Association to benefit local research and community education efforts.

The event continues Tuesday, when some of the Philadelphia Eagles will step to the plate.
