While the Fourth of July was nearly two weeks ago, the fireworks will be in full effect in Texas on Monday night with the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby.
Two-time champ Pete Alonso headlines the group of participants, while the host team's Adolis Garcia is in the mix to take home the trophy, along with the Braves' Marcell Ozuna and Baltimore's exciting youngster Gunnar Henderson.
Globe Life Field is among the most home run-friendly parks in baseball over the last three years according to Statcast data, so the hitters should get a bit of a boost. A few minor rule and format changes should spice things up a little bit, especially in the opening round as all eight players will be competing with each other's totals to advance as opposed to being paired up head-to-head.
