Home Run Derby

I cringed when they put up Miller Park in Milwaukee but wow are the luxury suites cool. Our engineering department rents one every year and it's something.

Yankee Stadium is THE icon of all major league parks. The history there is beyond imagination. It is truly sad to see it replaced. But money talks.

I haven't been to Miller Park, but i have been to Busch Stadium when the cardinals were playing the crew and that ballpark is absolutely gorgeous. The Arc and skyline in the background and the service in the box-seats is spectacular. I was up in a box behind home plate down the first base line...great view.

Crew got their asses handed to them at the game i watched...

There's no truer sign of money talking than the naming of these stadia as corporate entities - Miller Stadium, is that the beer ?

In England they have The Reebok Stadium, Emirates Stadium (airline) to name a few

Not a big baseball fan, but I think there should be a triathalon of sorts. The competitors:

Josh Hamilton
Todd Hamilton
and George Hamilton.

The Events:
Home Run Derby
Long Drive Competition and
Tan-off.

That would be exciting.

I'd rather play in Reebok Stadium than Gaylord Arena

Don't forget:

Linda Hamilton (career off)
Alexander Hamilton (shoot off)
Hamilton Beach (Daquiri off)

Yep, I agree.

He's only a role model to people that are ALREADY addicted to drugs or something. Drug addicts can look at him and see it is possible to make a rebound. It's bad for a non-drug addict to look at him and think that they can screw up all they want in the future because they'll eventually rebound.
