Would have loved to have seen carter in this.

I could watch Stanton do that all day. Between the laser beams and the moon shots, that was so much fun to watch. How far are some of those in Colorado? Is 530 feet out of the question?

How are the guys picked for this? I see Stanton isn't an "All-Star" but Carter (along with a couple of others) has more HRs than Giancarlo has at the break. It was still a lot of fun watching him hit all of those majestic HRs last night and he was the best in that contest by far.

His longest this year was 490 feet at Marlins Park.
