Prince Field wins the 2009 Home Run Derby. Beating Nelson Cruz 6 to 5 home runs. Fielder's longest ball was 461 feet. While Cruzs' was 438."McCartney's Take: The Prince is crowned. A regal performance. Insert your pun of choice here. The Home Run Derby belongs to Prince Fielder, who added a little drama than expected before putting Nelson Cruz away with a 423-foot blast. No offense to Cruz but could this have ended any other way than with star of the night, with 11 homer runs of over 450 feet, as the last man standing. Cruz may not have won, but for a guy the casual fan had never heard of before to night, he at least increased his Q rating in making the final. For what it's worth, Fielder is the first guy from the NL Central to win the Derby since the Cubs' Sammy Sosa, another guy known for putting on a show in this event, claimed the crown in 2000. "
Overall it was a great home run derby that did not disappoint. Congratulations to the home run king of 2009, Prince Fielder!!!
