One of the oldest sports in the world is trying a fresh new approach to the Home Run Derby this year, allowing fans and players to exchange tweets during the Derby, which should help keep fans engaged during this timeless tradition. Well I know they had to think of something, because the Home Run Derby has become stale throughout the years, much like the NBA Dunk Contest. I'm sure this will work wonders for advertisers perhaps fans will pay more attention this year. Below are the twitter handles for players that are participating:
The participants include: Jose Bautista (@JoeyBats19), Heath Bell (@HeathBell21), Gio Gonzalez (@GioGonzalez47), Joel Hanrahan (@hanrahan4457), Matt Kemp (@TheRealMattKemp), Howie Kendrick (@HKendrick47), David Ortiz (@davidortiz), Hunter Pence (@HunterPence9), Brandon Phillips (@DatDudeBP), Gaby Sanchez (@GabySanchez15), Justin Upton (@RealJustinUpton), Shane Victorino (@ShaneVictorino) and C.J. Wilson (@str8edgeracer). Other All-Stars will have the opportunity to share their personalized live commentary, photos and video through MLB and MLBPA social media accounts on Twitter (@MLB and @MLB_PLAYERS) and Facebook (Facebook.com/MLB and Facebook.com/MLBPlayersAssoc).
