The Home Run 2

[NYY #23]

Round 2



Looking over bracket three it seemed a little bit weak. I thought that Albert Pujols was by far the favorite, but Pujols struggled slightly with just 19 home runs in a second place tie. While that is enough for him to advance he'll have to do better than that in the tourney to avoid an early exit.



Travis Hafner led the bracket with 26 home runs and Pronk will be advancing to the tournament.



Shawn Green finished in a second place tie with Pujols and will advance with 19.



Finally, Fred Lynn hit 17 home runs to advance to the next round.

Players Advancing
Travis Hafner - 26
Shawn Green - 19
Albert Pujols - 19
Fred Lynn - 17

Eliminated
Dennis Casey - 12

Round 2



It was close in bracket five, with Matt Holliday advancing by just one home run over Whitey Kurowski.



Bullet Rogan finished in third place with 28 home runs.



Hank Greenberg hit 29 home runs to advance to the tournament.



Leading the bracket was David Ortiz, who hit 30 home runs. I think Ortiz is the type of player who has the potential to go far in the tournament.

Hank Greenberg - 29
Bullet Rogan - 28
Matt Holliday - 25

Eliminated
Whitey Kurowski - 24

Can't wait for the head-to-head rounds.

When this gets to the final 64, you should make one of those bracket-prediction forum things.
