15. The Home Run Derby is sort of like the fake boobs of baseball

Impressive at first, until you realize how contrived they are.

Some guy throwing slow fat ones at some other guys who swing for the fences. I liked it better when it was called batting practice.

I've never understood the appeal. :shrug:
