Home Run Derby 2010 hits homer for good causes

Home Run Derby 2010 precedes the Major League Baseball All-Star Game and showcases the game’s heavy hitters. It may just be for fun and not mean anything within the standings, but its value to charitable organizations – thanks to the “Go to Bat” program of Major League Baseball and State Farm insurance – can’t be overstated. Fans select their charity of choice and sluggers flex their longball muscles. Charitable donations to the Boys and Girls Clubs of The US and a trip to the 2010 World Series are up for grabs.

Home Run Derby 2010 – Grand slam for charity

Home Run Derby 2010 and State Farm’s “Go to Bat” game will make things that much brighter for charities above and beyond the baseball world. After registering at the “Go to Bat” web portal, fans will be eligible for random selection by State Farm on a weekly basis, and 10 weekly winners can have $ 100 given to their charity of choice. Playing an online Home Run Derby 2010 will increase their odds of being selected and the likelihood of their charity receiving funds. Out of 10 weekly winners, one could be chosen for the grand prize of a trip for two to the 2010 World Series. The second half of the Major League Baseball season will be the “Go to Bat” contest ground, and will end on September 26.

The gold’s within the game at the Home Run Derby 2010

It doesn’t matter whether it’s Miguel Cabrera, Corey Hart, Matt Holliday, David Ortiz, Hanley Ramirez, Nick Swisher, Vernon Wells or Chris Young who sends the most home runs to the bleachers at Anaheim’s Angel Stadium, the Boys and Girls Clubs of The United States will come out on top. That’s what happens as State Farm gives $ 3,000 per homer hit during Home Run Derby 2010, and $ 17,000 when a player launches the “Gold Ball” with one out remaining in their round. Not only that, but one of the local chapters of the Club will get $ 50,000 from State Farm, when the remaining seven chapters local to Orange County, Calif. will receive $ 10,000 apiece. Not to be outdone, the fan-selected charity that receives probably the most support will get an additional $ 25,000 boost from State Farm.

What player will beat the field in Home Run Derby 2010?

Corey Hart is a dark horse with a big time bat. He’s the hottest hitter of the group as competition commences.
