We asked fans who wins the Brewers’ Alumni Home Run Derby scheduled for July 25
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Milwaukee Brewers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
In this week’s fan survey brought to you by FanDuel, we asked fans which former Brewer they think will win the team’s Alumni Home Run Derby, scheduled for after a game between the Crew and the Marlins on July 25.
After tallying the votes, this is what we’ve got:
Honestly, it was a much closer vote than I expected. Prince Fielder seems like the favorite, but I suppose he hasn’t played organized baseball in years. Even so, his power puts him at the top in my mind, and fans agreed enough to give him 38% of the vote.
Ryan Braun came second in the poll, garnering 26% of the vote, followed by Eric Thames at 23%.
The Field includes the other seven players, namely Keon Broxton, Yovani Gallardo, Carlos Gómez, Bill Hall, Corey Hart, Casey McGehee, and Nyjer Morgan. Former coach Ed Sedar will be pitching, with former catcher George Kottaras behind the plate.
