MLB Home Run Derby X
Nashville
First Horizon Park
ADVENTURE SUMMARY
MLB Home Run Derby X is coming to Nashville for the first time and we will be there to experience it and would be glad to have you join us! Home Run Derby X is a unique event that is comprised of former MLB players, female legends of the diamond and local guys off the street who are going to attempt to hit bombs! The competition combines power and defensive hustle. There are four teams divided up into three players each, all competing to accrue the most points to win the X trophy.
Former MLB players with a combined 1,396 career home runs will be ready to crush – Manny Ramirez (555 HRs), Andruw Jones (434 HRs), Nick Swisher (245 HRs) and Pedro Alvarez (162 HRs). On the women’s side NCAA Legends will also be swinging for the fences including the NCAA all-time home run leader Jocelyn Alo (122), who is also the first female to play for the Savannah Bananas. Joining Alo is USA Baseball’s Alex Hugo, Ole Miss softball’s Ashton Landsdell and former Florida Gator Amanda Lorenz. In what could be the most fun aspect of the event is where four local men will represent those of us in the stands as they take their experience to match up the best!
