Bates/Parker: This Week in Baseball History podcast: Home runs get derbied
From SABR members Mike Bates and Bill Parker at This Week in Baseball History podcast on July 19, 2018:
It’s All-Star Week, and our second annual All-Star Week episode. This year, we’re looking at the Home Run Derby, and specifically, the All-Star Home Run Derby, and its exceedingly weird, almost embarrassingly humble origins 33 years ago this week, right here in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
