Additional Major League Baseball (MLB) pages on Rauzulu's Street:
A fan favorite the Home Run Derby has been held since 1985 in a variety
of formats. Below are the past winners of this event held during the MLB
All Star break.
Major League Baseball adopted the tradition of the Home Run Derby during the 1985 All-Star Game. From 1985 to 1990, the derby lasted two innings, with each player getting five outs per inning. The contest switched to the current three-round format in 1991 in which eight to 10 players attempt to hit as many home runs before reaching 10 outs in each round.

MLB All Star Game - History
Eight players, who are generally on the All-Star Game rosters are selected for the Home Run Derby and compete in a traditional playoff system where the players with the most home runs advance to the next round.
Each player gets ten "outs" per round, where an out is defined as any swing that is not a home run. Should a tie exist between players at the end of any round, there will be a five swing swing-off to determine who will advance.
Until 2006, the home run count was reset after each round. However, a rule change was made for the 2006 Home Run Derby which causes the home run count for the four players advancing to the second round to carry over. The home run count for the final round is still reset to zero.
