With help from Ortiz, Angels outfielder wins Home Run Derby

Vladimir Guerrero was asked if he had a secret weapon, an adviser, a guru who would show him the way, before getting on a Monday’s State Farm Home Run Derby his second adventure in the Midsummer Classic muscle display. “Ortiz,” he said, referring to David “Big Papi” Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox. Now we know what he meant, colluding with Big Papi to provide a Hollywood moment for the big show. With Ortiz blessing a bat and exhorting him on after a sluggish start at AT&T Park, Guerrero caught fire and claimed the State Farm Home Run Derby title on Monday night, holding the Dominican Republic flag aloft while celebrating with friends and family members on the infield grass. “Any time you do anything well, you want to raise your flag,” Guerrero stated in the afterglow of his first Home Run Derby crown. He knew he'd won the finale with Toronto's Alex Rios with his third homer in the final round. He dropped his bat and walked away well before the decisive shot reached the seats.

Vladimir Guerrero launched the longest shot of the night, a 503-foot blast just beneath the giant mitt in left field, among his 17 homers. Alex Rios ended up with two more total homers, his 19 averaging 407.5 feet. Vladimir averaged 434.5 feet. A man who uses the whole field in game situations, Guerrero was strictly a pull hitter on this occasion, repeatedly turning on Angels third-base coach Dino Ebel's deliveries and rocketing shots into the left-field seats. “He's always been my batting practice pitcher,” said Guerrero “He knows exactly how to pitch to me.”

If Ebel was amazed by anything, it was that Guerrero had the strength to last the way he did. The Angels just spent nine days on the road, in the heat of Baltimore, Texas and New York, and he didn't reach San Francisco until late Sunday night. “You have to summon the energy for something like that,” he said. “I got in very late last night, and slept in late to rest up a little.” His teammate Garret Anderson in 2003 and Cal Ripken Jr., have gone on to win the All-Star Game MVP award after claiming the Home Run Derby. “We'll see,” said Vlad, with characteristic diffidence. “If it happens, it happens.” Guerrero needed a late charge to surge into the finals against Rios, who'd crushed 12 homers in the second round.

Vladimir started slowly, just as he had in the first round. Vlad had 4 outs before he found the range in the 2nd round, hitting 4 in seven swings, but he was one out from elimination when he rallied, homering twice, with the 503-monster blast. This vaulted him over Colorado's Matt Holliday, who hit eight bombs in the 2nd round. On the other hand, Albert Pujols, who’d lost in the finals to Anderson in year 2003 in Chicago, came within a few feet of matching Vladimir Guerrero, his final blow falling short. At the outset, Guerrero was having a hard time lifting the ball, taking four futile cuts for outs, when Ortiz appeared in a staged exchange that was immensely crowd-pleasing. Big Papi summoned a box of bats, brought one out (the chosen one) and gave it his blessing.

“It was my bat, and we had it planned that if I wasn't doing well at the beginning, he was going to bring it out to me,” said Guerrero.

Given new life with Ortiz's intervention, according to the script, Guerrero took two more unsuccessful rips before he found his groove and pounded five homers with his next six cuts. The only one that missed was crushed into the second deck, but foul, down the left-field line. He was in the game, moving on to the second round of the competition. He also was applying some tape to his right index finger to prevent his hand “from cracking and opening up,” he said. He had achieved his goal of improving on his effort in the 2000 Home Run Derby in Atlanta already, when he handled to produce only two homers before an early exit. He was a member of the Montreal Expos at the time, and Big Papi blessed none of his bats. Vladimir Guerrero’s 463-foot blast, high into the bleachers in left center, was the longest drive of the first round, but he was only warming up for the big display. He gave in to the urgings of fans, and family and friends too, in deciding to participate after a six-year absence. “I've had problems with my back, and my back is perfectly fine now,” the eight-time All-Star, Guerrero stated. He also was confident he’d get some good swings with his regular batting practice pitcher, Dino Ebel, along for the ride. Ebel emphasized with Guerrero the importance of taking his time, stepping out when he needed to, and not swinging at anything he didn't like. Ebel said he focused on throwing four-seam fastballs up in the zone, so Vlad could get extended.

Every player of the Angels of Anaheim team was trained on how to know and how to improve on their weaknesses and abilities. The team will continue its journey to become a victorious Major League Baseball champions.
