Fans at Yankee Stadium were going crazy for Josh Hamilton and the theme music from “Rocky” was blaring over the loudspeakers as he hit a record 28 homers in the first round of the All-Star Home Run Derby before running out of gas and getting beaten by Minnesota’s Justin Morneau in the finals Monday night.

The 2006 AL MVP topped an exhausted Josh Hamilton 5-3 in the last round, giving him the derby crown. But the night definetly belonged to Hamilton, a first-time All-Star who put on an amazing power display worthy of Yankee stadium.
