Good Showing Grady

I have to admit, I wasn't sure how Grady was going to do in the Home Run contest. He isn't really the kind of guy you think of when you ponder this event. Grady surprised me, not just because of how many home runs he hit, but how far he was able to drive the ball. Grady hit 6 homers, and about 4 more that would have been out if they managed to stay fair. His longest traveled 448 feet. Have you ever seen Grady hit a ball that fair? When he finished I thought it really didn't matter if he made the finals or not, he had put up a good number. To be completely honest, I was hoping that 6 wouldn't stand up. You see guys wreck their swings by trying too hard in that contest. I believe it's called pulling an Abreu. He didn't make it out of the first round, but hey- he's a lea-off hitter!
