The guy the Twins said wasn't a big time home run hitter, David Ortiz!

I'll go with David Wright, hoping to jinx him. Look what happened to Bobby Abreu's power numbers last year after he "won" it!:rolleyes:

Something for Phillies Phans to cheer for this year, finally!:hurray: :hurray:
Plus, with a flair for the dramatic, Howard hit the "Hit it Here" sign at the top of the right field stands for 500 free flights for fans in the stands.:nod:

Not sure what happened there. Appeared that they needed to get the program awards and interviews all done within a certain timeframe. Possible the 'budget' may have been also met--the said during Wright's last up that the 'gold ball' amount had matched last year's total. Would have been great to see Howard put a few more in the river.

He did keep going in the semis and hit the golden ball HR. The finals is a different story, you win and you stop. However, he did win a couple a house and another 500 airline flights, so thats alot.
