Home Run Derby TV Show

In the first segment this week, International sports correspondent Abel Rosario calls in to talk second week of the World Baseball Classic. The Edwin Diaz drama, Japan's walkoff versus Mexico and the titanic matchup between Japan and the United States in the Championship Game. We will also give you the final power rankings of the Quarterfinal Field. THe second segment, we perform an autopsy on the TV show from the 1960's, Home Run Derby. The concept was simple. Bring the best sluggers from the Major Leagues to Hollywood, and have them compete against each other, on TV, for a new concept called the Home Run Derby. The show became wildly popular and was destined to have a run, but tragedy would befall the show and it would only last one season. Even though the show was short-lived, it is still a cult classic today. #MarkScott #HomeRunDerby #LouBreslow #WillieMays #MickeyMantle #Hollywood
