Welcome to the 2017 home run derby! Every Saturday morning a new cache will be released. After it is published you will have roughly a week to find it and select a slugger to represent you in that week's edition of the home run derby. Select one player and include his name in your log. The number of home runs he hits the following week (starting the Friday after cache publication) is your score (don't worry, we will handle all the scoring). The series will be cumulative points from April through September, with a week off over the All Star break. The catch is every player must be unique, so FTF has choice of any player, second to find will have second pick and so on. The cache hiders will also be playing so the cache owner will select fifth each week. This is week 12 of the series (12 of 24). All scoring will take place June 23rd through June 29th. Participation in the derby is strictly optional so feel free to find the cache and watch all the action from the grandstand. Game on!
There have been many baseball players who were sons of former big leaguers. Two of the most famous duos are Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr., along with Bobby and Barry Bonds. The Griffey's became the first father-son combination to play in the same lineup. Later they became the only such duo to both hit home runs in the same game. Not to be outdone, Cecil and Prince Fielder are the only father-son combination who each blasted 50 home runs in a season.
You are looking for an ammo can a few feet off the beaten path. There is a short, steep trail behind the office building that will lead you to baseball glory. Good luck!
