Kids as young as seven years old got the opportunity of a lifetime Sunday: the chance to play ball at Citizen's Bank Park.
Defending champion Todd Frazier and current home run leader Mark Trumbo headline the participants in the 2016 Home Run Derby. The field was announced on Thursday's SportsCenter.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said the idea of Madison Bumgarner entering the All-Star Home Run Derby has been "nixed" because the players' union didn't want a derby slot being taken by a pitcher.
Cubs ace Jake Arrieta, who owns the longest home run by a pitcher this year at 442 feet, echoed Giants' pitcher Madison Bumgarner's desire to compete in the Home Run Derby.
If asked, Madison Bumgarner says he would like to compete in the All-Star Home Run Derby next month at San Diego's Petco Park and is not worried he would injure himself.
