PrintPrince Fielder won last night's All-Star Game Homerun Derby with 23 total homeruns (six in the finals), but more importantly, two of you have won prizes in the Amazin' Avenue Homerun Derby Contest.
Eight people correctly chose Fielder as the winner, so we had to go to the first tie-breaker for total homeruns by the winner. Amazingly, three people tied for the closest total with 24 (just one shy of Fielder's actual total), so we had to continue to the second tie-breaker, which was the total homeruns by the runner-up Nelson Cruz. Cruz swatted 21 homeruns overall, which squid92 nailed to take home the grand prize.
Second prize went to gogomets, who missed Cruz's total by just one homer.
Congrats to our winners and thanks to everyone for playing. As the 2009 Mets teeter on the brink of irrelevancy we'll find other creative ways to give away some comforting swag.

gogomets had to be pissed...
Had to assume an easy win with that prediction. Wow, congrats guys, that was almost exactly spot on!!
You may have Utley, Howard, Rollins, Hamels, and Lidge...but, WE have Fernando Tatis, baby. Two grand slames in one inning. Hello??
and no congratulations to those who picked stupid AGon, like me,
and his grand total of 2 HRs. wow, you beat infielding defensive specialist Brandon Inge, who pulled a Mike Piazza (ohfer), good job AGon, you jerk.
Lets hope that when gut check time comes again the Mets will pass it with flying colors.
I feel your pain
I wasn’t in the swag contest but I did have $1 on Gonzalez.

Congrats
Well I wasnt part of this contest but its always nice to tell the bozo Phillies fans I work with that Prince Fielder was gonna win and not Howard…of course they couldnt wrap their minds around the fact that someone other than Howard could win.
Thanks, guys.
If I had had to guess the runner up, I wouldn’t have done nearly as well, I’ll tell you that much.

nice job squid
agreed on picking the runner-up. cruz looked good out there though.
Congrats
congrats squid. I was to optimistic about the total of homers. Fourth place isn’t bad though. I wonder what the total number of entrants was?
