Home Run Derby

I have no interest in the upcoming Home Run Derby, the day prior to the All-Star game. I'm more of a D-list crew with a few ex-big leaguers celebrity softball game kind of guy on that Monday.
Anyway, Albert Pujols said he won't participate in the Home Run Derby this year. It's unfortunate because home field advantage is riding on the outcome. Wait, my mistake, that's for the actual All-Star game the next night.
I don't blame Albert for sitting out. It's a long season and why possibly alter your swing and get into bad habits for a home run hitting contest?
Here's one way to make me watch the Home Run Derby and that is use aluminum bats. Why not? It's an exhibition, let the fans watch these guys really tee off.
