Home Run Derby 2010 is a golden charity fest

It is All-Star break time in Major League Baseball, and of course the Home Run Derby 2010 is here, too. The long drives and made to wow the fans, but charitable organizations will take away lasting meaning from the “Go to Bat” program of Major League Baseball and State Farm insurance. Baseball fanatics choose the charity, and players make an effort to go long. In addition, a trip to the 2010 World Series and charitable donations to the Boys and Girls Clubs of The US are in the mix.

Home Run Derby 2010 means much to charities

The “Go to Bat” promotion, coupled with the glitz of Home Run Derby 2010, will make a lasting impact upon communities well beyond the field of play. Fans registered with the “Go to Bat” website will be selected at random by State Farm of weekly prizes (namely a $ 100 gift to the fan’s charity selection). Playing an online Home Run Derby 2010 will increase their odds of being selected and the likelihood of their charity receiving funds. Out of 10 weekly winners, one can be chosen for the grand prize of a trip for two to the 2010 World Series. ”Go to Bate” will run from the beginning of the second half to September 26.

More charitable gold at Home Run Derby 2010

An array of stars from Miguel Cabrera, Corey Hart, David Ortiz, Matt Holliday and Nick Swisher to Chris Young and Hanley Ramirez can be swinging for the fences at Angel Stadium, and also the Boys and Girls Clubs of The United States can be raking in cash. That’s because State Farm will donate $ 3,000 per homer hit during Home Run Derby 2010, and $ 17,000 if a player hits the “Gold Ball” out (when a batter has only one out remaining). In addition, one lucky Orange County, Calif. will get a $ 50,000 gift from State Farm, when the remaining seven chapters within the region will walk away with $ 10,000 each. Not to be outdone, the fan-selected charity that receives one of the most support will get an additional $ 25,000 boost from State Farm.

What player will beat the field in Home Run Derby 2010?

Go with Miguel Cabrera. He’s the hottest hitter of the group as competition commences.
