PARTICIPATION IN SCORING ASPECT IS STRICTLY OPTIONAL SO FEEL FREE TO FIND THE CACHE AND WATCH ALL THE ACTION FROM THE GRANDSTAND. GAME ON!
Welcome to the 2024 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 14 of the series (14 of 25). All scoring will take place Friday June 28th through Thursday July 4th.
The Big Hurt went to Auburn on a football scholarship after he was passed over in the 1986 MLB Draft out of high school. He played tight end for the Tigers his freshman year and caught three passes for 45 yards, but he soon joined the baseball team -- and the rest is history. The White Sox drafted Thomas seventh overall in 1989, he won back-to-back MVP Awards in 1993 and '94, crushed 521 homers in a 19-year career, and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014.
