    Wow, didn't expect that at all. Too bad I missed it.


    Well done Justin!

    Congrats to Justin. I was really pulling for Josh at the end though.

    I rooted for both Justin & Josh, but never thought Justin come back and won. It was like an advantage when a hitter hit 28 homers in a round, then eventually worn out.

    Well done, Justin! Way to rep Minnesota!

    Josh could have NOT hit round 2 at all and rested. But to Justin's advantage it all worked out. Just think Justin was a last minute invite. Make's things sweeter..

    Congrats to Morneau, but I gotta say, Josh Hamilton is an inspiration. He's a freakin hero!

    We will have none of that Josh Hamilton nonsense in Justin's thread!

    now people are protesting against ESPN as why they still have Josh Hamilton as tonight's star.

    It looked like Justin was taking his normal swing last night, rather than trying for homers. Josh Hamilton put on quite a display in the first round and got pretty tired. Justin did what he needed to do to win it. He looked great accepting the trophy -- sort of like he was saying, "it should be his trophy, but I guess I'll take it."
