Josh Hamilton's awesomeness knows no bounds.
The Texas Rangers center fielder's impressive, 28-bomb first-round performance in the Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium Monday night shattered the previous record of 24 set by Bobby Abreu in 2005. He nailed a few more going into the final round against Minnesota Twins slugger Justin Morneau, who hit 8 in the first and 9 in the Semis.
My Canadian Crusher hit five more in the final round, which was just enough to beat Hamilton, who hit three over 500 feet in all, but just 3 in the finale.
Everyone but the good folks of Minnesota and Canada felt utter disappointment. Especially Jesus.

AWESOME!!! Count me in ass one of the few folks in the world who isn't disappointed right now!
Sweet air guitar Hamms.
Amazing!
Hamilton was amazing. Extremely exciting. Josh didn't win but stole the spot light and I don't think the story tomorrow will by anything about Morneau.

Hammer = Hottest. Christian. Ever.
GO JUSTIN! WHy is everyone so irked? He won it fair and square. In fact, I think he tried to lose.
It was bittersweet to watch our Canadian Crusher win (yes, Sooze, you must share). He won, but everyone's thinking that he shouldn't have.
Sad.
But he gave proper props to Hamilton in his acceptance speech. After he was called JASON Morneau. Did anyone else catch that?????
28 f**king home runs. Who the HELL does that??
Incredibly, indisputably, HOT.
i'm a big fan of jason. i think he's going to go far in the NHL.
jiminy christmas, i'm tired of living small market.
No disappointment here. I'm quite pleased the Canadian Crusher took home the hardware. Meanwhile, one of my crusherlettes as shaved his head. Seems to be the newest rave amongs the Miracle.
Hey anonymous.
Remember that one time when Justin Morneau won MVP?
That's who the f*ck he is.
Nicely put, marea.
