If there was ever a question as to whether or not chicks actually do “dig the long ball,” the above image should help settle that debate.  But one question still remains: Who has the better view in this case?

Would it be the sexy female in the yellow bikini, who had the opportunity to watch home run balls off the bats of Robinson Cano and Adrian Gonzalez soar over her head as she stood along the outfield railing at Chase Field last night?  Or would it be every man who takes a look at this pic and sees the gorgeous rear and sexy tattoo of a beautiful young blonde?

My vote is for the latter.

Hat Tip – [Times Live]

Not exactly.

Those who were watching Price Fielder’s second round of the State Farm Home Run Derby last night may have noticed one man nearly falling over the outfield railing at Chase Field.  The man was said to be standing on a table attempting to catch a ball during the event when he nearly fell over the railing and onto the ground several feet below.  Fortunately for him, his brother and some friends were ready to make a life saving catch, grabbing him by his arms and legs in an effort to prevent him from taking the disastrous plunge.

Most will tell you that the man jumping into the pool was the best catch from last night’s Derby.  I, on the other hand, would argue that that title belongs to the four men who saved a life last night at Chase Field.

Not only did he make the catch on the Adrian Gonzalez home run ball, but he did so with a full glass of beer in his hand and ended up in a pool full of bombshells in bikinis.  One of those beautiful babes was even kind enough to give him a hand with his beer while he resurfaced from beneath the water and raised his glove in glory.

Does it get any better than this?  I didn’t think so.

Robinson Cano

After hitting a solid eight homers in the opening round, second to only the Adrian Gonzalez’s nine, the Yankees’ second baseman hit twelve in the second round.  His two round total of 20 was good enough to move him into the finals against Gonzalez, thus setting up an epic Yankees vs. Red Sox battle for the Derby crown.

After Gonzalez opened up the finals with an impressive 11 home runs, Cano knew he had his work cut out for him, but he made it look easy, hitting twelve with four outs to spare.  That gave him his first ever Home Run Derby title and the “Stat Line of the Night” for Monday, July 11, 2011.

Here is a look at Cano’s title-clinching home run.

The game went a whole hour and 54 minutes, one of the fastest games I have ever been to.  The atmosphere was good, and there were 25,000 fans in attendance.  For a team fighting for 1st place, you would think they would have had more fans at the game.  “See Blue Jay fans, our team is in 4th place and we get the same attendance.” 

Chase Field, I have to say, is one of the best ball parks I have been to and in my top 10 of MLB best parks.  You feel like your at a baseball game when your at the stadium.  Even though they have a retractable roof because the Arizona heat is just to unbearable, you would never know that you were inside. Why is this not the case with the concrete dome in Toronto? I guess the architects thought the more conrete the better!  Evenmore, the hallways at Chase Field makes you feel like your at a ball park, you do not feel like your stuck in an underground subway station, lined with concrete walls. We all know it gets cold in Toronto, but lets be realistic.  With the structures they are building today in Dubai, your telling me architects couldn’t find a way to keep the ballpark feeling, in a colder climate? and we payed something in the range of $500,000,000 to build this hunk of concrete.

They have also just recently upgraded there scoreboard in center field, now having the largest in the Majors.  Sorry Toronto, the Jumbotron is no longer jumbo!

Tickets were reasonably priced for $44, we sat 11th row in between first base and the corner in the outfield.  If you ever are in the greater Phoenix area and a sports fan, I would suggest you try to catch a game.
