For the lack of "star power" in the derby last night, this was a perfect opportunity to get this guys incredible story out to the casual fan.
It really was fun to watch. Mrs. Bullpen (no, not Tanith Belbin, the REAL Mrs. Bullpen) and I watched it last night and she's a casual fan at best and she really seemed into it and wanted to know more about Hamilton. She mentioned something that most people haven't yet, that Morneau really handled the night with a lot of class and recognized that regardless of the winner, Hamilton was the star of the show.
Side note: everything was better when Morgan played ball, that's a long standing given, but it seemed like Boomer kind of toned his schtick down a bit last night.
