Watch this back in the day. ESPN used to be a great channel
-
When Griffey was the Michael Jordan of baseball and Chris Berman on point with the great calls. Both appropriately had great roles in 'Little Big League,' released the same year of this footage.
-
Golden age of baseball so many great players
-
This has got to be my most favorite HR derby ever. I was a 16 year old kid watching in awe as Thomas and Griffey Jr. crushed upper deck shot after upper deck shot.
-
those 90s starter jackets are fire
-
Back when Home Run Derbies were fun to watch and ESPN just stuck to sports
-
90s mlb was the greatest to watch on TV.

I'm from the UK I went to the pittsburgh vs Chicago game that year was stood over the practice area and managed to get a ball thrown to me from one of the players. I still have the baseball sat in my drawer at home . What an experience 👍

The 1994 Home Run Derby. Or, as I prefer to call it, "A Tale of Two Griffs: The Crime Dog and The Kid."
-
I was fortunate enough to be there. A great event. It was super hot that day and the homers were flying out of there. Griffey Jr. and Frank Thomas were crushing it.

Back when the MLB was actually watchable
-
I miss Griffey and Thomas and all of them. I feel like baseball is coming back and that makes me smile.
-
I was 13 years old at the time. Frank Thomas was already my all-time favorite baseball player. Even before he took a big league at-bat I just had a feeling about him when I got his Topps rookie card with him at first base at Auburn. I later learned that he and I share the same birthday. My Big Hurt fandom is as real as it comes.

forgot how sweet mcgriff's swing was
-
I was a kid in the left field upper deck with my buddy watching this. It was getting boring up there so I said we should go down a section below. Right when we started to leave Frank started hitting bombs right near us. We were amazed.
-
When Thomas bumped the facade of the upper deck in straightaway left center...that was a bomb.
-
jesus...Frank Thomas at the break, .383, 32hr, 78rbi, .795slg, .515 OBP, 93R... UNREAL numbers.
-
Ken Griffey Jr is the best baseball player of my lifetime
-
Much better without a clock. Let the players pick and choose what they swing at. More organic. Clocks, clocks, clocks, everywhere now. What makes baseball great is that there is no time. Why I love it.
