Man this feels like this happened 2 years ago, back when Joe Mauer was batting 340+, The House That Ruth Built was still standing tall and proud, and Tim Lincecum was one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball, oh times have changed!!
Sort of.. He lost in the finals to Justin Morneau It was the greatest first round performance. Sort of sums up Hamiliton's career. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Major_League_Baseball_Home_Run_Derby
I'm in a fan opinion panel for Major League Baseball, and every year they ask me how to spice up the home run derby. And every year I tell them the same thing: "The home run derby ended in the first round at Yankee Stadium in 2008, fellas."
It should absolutely be noted, Hamilton’s 2nd HR (the one that hit the top of the BOA sign) would have been hit out of Mickey Mantle’s Yankee Stadium. Way out. The signs behind the bleachers were WAY WAY shorter back then, there was no sign as high as where he hit it.
Me being a former drug addict, made this sweeter than any other home run derby. I was so happy for Josh Hamilton. I tear up every time I think of what myself and other addicts can accomplish.
Right on man. I have 4 years myself. I look at addiction as a life sentence and when you're clean is kinda like being on parole . I have to look at it that way because one bad decision or a bad day can impact a person's future and well being for years .I have hit rock bottom more than once in my recovery.And that's not a great feeling.I'm happy for Josh and it can't be easy for him when you're thrown back into the spotlight. Congrats on your sobriety man .
I'm sorry but you'll always be a addict. I'm an addict myself. Been clean for 5yrs but still scared cause you just never know when I could relapse. Once a addict always a addict remember that and it doesn't matter how many years you're clean. Good luck and hope you continue your sober life.
I’d watched so many great games won at that stadium, yet this was one of my fondest memories. It was like he was channeling the ghosts, like they were swinging his bat
Hands down, I've never seen a player dominate in the Derby like Josh Hamilton did that night. What he did and how he kept crushing that ball was special.
Well it sure will now because of these new stupid changes they made to the derby. I can barely see people hit 10. Also because the Homerun derby blows now. Best players refuse to participate, and they are making it harder and harder to hit home runs in it even though that's the DAMN POINT. I don't get why they didn't leave it the way it was.
Kpatel They've ALWAYS changed the rules! It'd be the same for a few years then they'd change it again, and it pissed me off. I haven't honestly seen a great Derby since this 2008 one, the others were just good/ok, but 2011 was a bit higher than that. King Albert and Prince are the only big names in this year's, so I'm rooting for one of them. I like watching these younger exciting guys hit, but I barely know them.......
Robert Anderson This years will be boring. Way boring. No Stanton, no Trout, no Harper, hell, even no Bautista. Prince will be the only one worth rooting for in the derby because we know what he is like when he is having a good year in the derby, and I'm just not sure about Pujols. He was never exciting in the derby. Not that the derby was ever exciting itself.
Kpatel Well let's give it a little chance...... but yeah i saw the rules and I'm like WTF???? Stanton's hurt, so he can't compete anyway (although hes fun to watch), Trout is one of the most exciting players ever, Bryce is having his first breakout season (yes he'll have more), Bautista was in a few of the last couple derbies I think, I don't really care much about him. Prince has won like 2-3 of these correct? Pujols was great in 2003, in the finals against Garrett Anderson, who beat him 9-8 that's about it........i dunno the 2002 Derby is still my favorite, followed by 2005. In 2006 Ryan Howard hit the "Hit it Here" sign, to win on the final home run, but it wasn't for a million dollars, which kinda sucked. That 500 free flights or whatever it was.....
Robert Anderson I don't know about recent home runs derby's. Stopped watching after 2003 when the exciting sluggers left(no steroids), and when players became self entitled and stopped trying in the ASG and hr derby because of the 2002 ASG tie and the stupid home field advantage to the winning league rule. The whole all star thing just sucks now. The derby is a joke inside if itself. May watch the highlights if somebody does anything exciting like in 2008 with Josh Hamilton. Refuse to watch live.
Josh Hamilton has been threw alot during his life. He has battled alot of what I myself call "Demons"... Know one can imagine what he has done... But the best thing he has done was excepted Christ in his life. Amazing young man he has become. I'm proud to call him a "TEXAS RANGER"... Swing for the stars my brother... You deserve it...
Nights like this make you wonder why did the Yankees move out of the old stadium?!? You'll never hear this level of excitement and atmosphere at the new house.
+Joey Parkhill if Ken Griffey Jr. Never got hurt he would have been one of the greatest of all time. Josh Hamilton would have been an amazing player but not to that caliber.
That's not stupid at all. It's hard to say what might have been, maybe Griffey is a little much.... But you're looking at a player right here that lost 9 years of baseball. He got drafted by the Rays in 1999 and even though he played a little bit with Cincinnati the year before, this was basically his rookie season and the fact that people are still watching it today speaks for itself...
Joey Parkhill Yes and no, considering that Junior wasn't just a great hitter, he was an absolute beast in CF. Easily the best player of all time if you take into consideration that he was superb on both offense and defense. Josh could have made Hall of Fame for sure, but he was not a complete player like Griffey Jr. was.
When he was the number 1 overall pick in 1999, Tampa Bay told him to pick a position he wanted to play. That's how great he was. Josh Hamilton was "The Natural".
What was a shame is that he didn't win. MLB should just do a cumulative total, 2 rounds of 10 outs and 1 round of 5 outs. Whoever hits highest cumulative total won. I think of him as the winner of this home run derby, he put on a show and set a record. They should have just stopped the derby and given him the trophy when that round ended IMO.
Jesus Christ, this was almost 10 years ago. There was no better place for Hamilton to put on what I (and so many others) consider to be the greatest Derby performance ever. As a die hard Yankees fan, he literally looked like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle all in one on that night. Such a great way to honor the old stadium.
No matter what anyone says about Hamilton, this was an amazing moment. I've been a huge Yankees fan all my life and never seen anything quite like that at the old stadium. You have to have experience sitting in the bleacher seats to actually appreciate how far he really hit those balls.
I still tear up a bit when I think about Hamilton's story. Had he never had the addiction and alcohol problems, there is no telling how great he would have been.
This was my most memorable Home Run Derby of all-time. I played against Josh Hamilton in North Carolina. When playing against him you knew that he was on a different level.
I remember I was in orientation for college and my buddy and I snuck off to watch this. We got in trouble but it was worth it. Best performance I've ever seen
Well I loved you Hamilton you had some great times and you had some bad times but your were inspirational for everyone at Texas. Enjoy your retirement and I hope you end up being a great coach somewhere
As a loyal Texas Ranger fan, who endured a loss in the 2011 Series, Josh Hamilton was absolutely KEY; it's sad the way it ended, he had a divorce, and left to go to the Angels.....but I'll always remember him, his unmatched talent, and how he contributed to the Rangers to go to the 2010 and 2011 World Series.
This is like the 6th or 7th time I've watched this. I like watching this because it's fun and I also like watching this because I am also a recovering addict and it shows what you can do when you get your mind right.
Did anyone ever figure out what was in the briefcase the Volquez gave him??? Lol. Josh was one of my favorite players in baseball after this derby and this season. Wish I could’ve seen him play
BEST swing ever...best trotter around the bases...MAN CRUSH on Josh bigtime! NO rules--time limit, wait until ball lands which is not enforced...the pace of this is ridiculous compared to 2018...
Kyle Mockbee Ken Griffey Jr. is the best natural home run hitter ever. Josh could have reached Jr's stature but addiction and relapses kept him from achieving his true greatness.
The first one he hit on the black tarp (13:35) had to go 525 at least. Forget what it was measured at the time. That was the furthest I have ever seen anyone hit a ball. Closest was Piazza hitting one way out of Dodger Stadium.
Will always love this brother man. In the end proves himself to be a sinner. Went hard to remind we us we always need Jesus no matter what it is. God bless you Josh. Thank you. Greatest thing you will ever see.
I wiah the best for Josh, I know all about addiction and it's a horrible mess you try to tell yourself you'll be fine but unfortunately it's all bad or your all good. Good luck folks
MessengerOfPeace Judge was just 5 feet off from Hamilton for the longest homerun in the homerum derby, Judge hit the 2nd longest homerun at 513 ft. Hamilton at 14:05 hit the longest at 518 ft. Went 2/3 up the 3rd deck in Old Yankee Stadium.
First off Josh Hamilton at 6ft4" Made Mantle look real small... Secondly...he could only wish he was half as good a player as Mantle... When he left the Rangers and went to the Angels for a HUGE contract Hamilton was did absolutely NOTHING.. he was released and retired in FAT CITY having to be paid the balance of the years left on that contract... NOTHING EXCEEDS like EXCESS so dont feel sorry for Hamilton...even with all the drugs and alcohol causing him to be prematurely washed up Hamilton lives like a KING
Man this feels like this happened 2 years ago, back when Joe Mauer was batting 340+, The House That Ruth Built was still standing tall and proud, and Tim Lincecum was one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball, oh times have changed!!
When Milton Bradley ran out to get a selfie with Josh, my first thought was, "People were already taking selfies?!?" :D :D :D
I remember this day very well. Me and 3 other guys were in a hotel watching it. We were all shocked at what we were watching.
The good days
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Was personally my favorite era of baseball.
The greatest home run derby performance of all time
Shawn Lally no shit sherlock
Brian Peppers why be mean to him
Sort of.. He lost in the finals to Justin Morneau It was the greatest first round performance. Sort of sums up Hamiliton's career.

I’m right there with you brotha. Keep fighting the good fight and sharing to good vibes. Much love!
I’d watched so many great games won at that stadium, yet this was one of my fondest memories. It was like he was channeling the ghosts, like they were swinging his bat
It's crazy how this was eight years ago. I was ten years old and I remember this night like it was yesterday. Epic performance.
Yeah I was 14, I was amazed. Even, if somebody hits twice this many, I'll never forget this.
Lj Dewar that's what i'm thinking to myself now, crazy
If you saw this live and Josh Hamilton didnt immediately become your favorite player theres something wrong with you
mikey Sawchyn no there's not
Facts
Hands down, I've never seen a player dominate in the Derby like Josh Hamilton did that night. What he did and how he kept crushing that ball was special.
Ian kinsler "he doesn't need advice; look at this guy" lol
I didn't think ANYONE would hit more than Bobby Abreu's 24 in 2005. This was amazing. This one will probably stand forever.
Well it sure will now because of these new stupid changes they made to the derby. I can barely see people hit 10. Also because the Homerun derby blows now.

He is never gonna swing again, not at the MLB level
+Justin Tate yes he will. Give it time... He's not done yet.
Dude I'm a Rangers fan in Arlington, who goes to 75+ games a year!
+Justin Tate ok awesome...
He damn sure ain't gonna be playing for Texas that's all I know
This year's home run derby brought me here. I'm sure glad got to be able to watch the 2008 home run derby when it happened.
Chris Berman was always the best part of the derby’s, his excitement, his references to town near the stadiums always bring me joy.
rangers fan i miss this josh, prime josh was a monster...
Credit to Counsil for hitting the target spot on every time
Nights like this make you wonder why did the Yankees move out of the old stadium?!? You'll never hear this level of excitement and atmosphere at the new house.
Would it be stupid to say that if Hamilton had not been an addict he would be Ken Griffey Jr. of the 21st century?
Very stupid
Bogey12 Why?

Goosebumps everytime! best HRD performance ever!
I love that moment at 2:02 when Chris Berman goes "...and wait a minute! Did that go where we think it went!?"
This looks like its from 1980
The old Yankee Stadium is why
@@ibhaenggi no 480p is why 😂

Shane Simbeck
I don't think people really care who wins these things, when it comes down to it. THIS is what people remember.
Shane Simbeck It is like Kevin Costner's character in Tin Cup. No one will remember who won the major in 10 years, but they will remember that shot.
my favorite player and will always be. I wish you luck in life Mr Hamilton

Can't wait to see Aaron Judge in the HR Derby 2017
Crippin M8v3r he won the derby
I remember that home run dredy it was fun to wacth
I know I saw it
Don’t know how one of these didn’t leave the stadium. This was the best I’ve seen.
I still tear up a bit when I think about Hamilton's story. Had he never had the addiction and alcohol problems, there is no telling how great he would have been.
Hamilton was such a great addition for the Rangers, he was on a natural high this night.
I remember watching this like it was yesterday
I remember working the dinner shift in the bar at chilies when this happened. I couldn't take my eyes off the TV.
This was my most memorable Home Run Derby of all-time. I played against Josh Hamilton in North Carolina. When playing against him you knew that he was on a different level.
One of the smoothest swings in history...what a legend
Yeah he's up there with Griffey Jr, Will Clark and Tony Gywnn.
Legendary performance. Glad I saw this live
Copy that Josh. Thanks for sharing with your fans, lovin’ it!
When the natural song comes on after he’s done....chills
I remember I was in orientation for college and my buddy and I snuck off to watch this. We got in trouble but it was worth it. Best performance I've ever seen
Also I'm so glad chris Berman is gone. One of the most annoying people of all time
Well I loved you Hamilton you had some great times and you had some bad times but your were inspirational for everyone at Texas. Enjoy your retirement and I hope you end up being a great coach somewhere
Wow!!! That was 10 years ago!!! HARD to believe!!! I remember it well!!
Can't believe that this was over 10 years ago. I remember watching this live.
Beast. I wish he still had it!
Un Swing hermoso, lo vi en vivo por la TV, Y no, nonononono, DIGANLE QUE NO A ESA PELOTA....Grande Josh Hamilton

i remember seein it.amazes me still
Vlad Jr got his record, I know. But this, this was iconic. Old Yankee stadium, the old format, just legendary
Wherever Josh is today I hope he is doing great.
To me, it's not so much the overall HR count, but the consistent whopping distance. Incredible power and performance.
This is like the 6th or 7th time I've watched this. I like watching this because it's fun and I also like watching this because I am also a recovering addict and it shows what you can do when you get your mind right.
Jeff Froment a year after your comment but hope you're doing well man, and if you ever need a reminder to help pull yourself out of a hole this is it.
I still remember this when I was 7 years old
Wow. Impressive.
Same I was 10 and I still remember how excited my young self was lol
This is way better than Judge's home run derby. Classic
I was lucky enough to be there most amazing thing I ever saw.
I wish Ted Williams got to see this guy... Always loved Ted's assessment of hitters
here after vladdy went sicko mode
Legendary!
Imagine making 50,000 people smile over a baseball ⚾️ as a rangers fan this still makes me happy til this day!!! Love Josh Hamilton always will be
Did anyone ever figure out what was in the briefcase the Volquez gave him??? Lol. Josh was one of my favorite players in baseball after this derby and this season. Wish I could’ve seen him play

Jeff Porcaro Groove Griffey has the best swing ever.
the most naturally talented home run hitter to come in the league ever guaranteed
Griffey better
Kyle Mockbee Ken Griffey Jr. is the best natural home run hitter ever. Josh could have reached Jr's stature but addiction and relapses kept him from achieving his true greatness.
