MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers will be represented by three players in the 79th Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium, including RHP Ben Sheets, OF Ryan Braun and OF Corey Hart, and for the second consecutive year the Brewers will have a participant in the State Farm Home Run Derby. Braun will be one of eight players to participate this year. Last year, 1B Prince Fielder competed in the contest.
With every home run hit by Braun in tonight's State Farm Home Run Derby, fans will save $1 off a Loge Outfield ticket for the August 11th game against the Washington Nationals.
The regular ticket price for Loge Outfield seats is $26. The price of those seats for the Nationals game on August 11 will be determined by subtracting the number of home runs hit by Ryan Braun from the regular ticket price ($26). Please note that if Braun hits 26 or more home runs tonight, the Loge Outfield box tickets will be FREE.
The State Farm Home Run Derby consists of three rounds and each batter gets 10 outs to hit as many home runs as possible in each round. The four participants with the most home run totals in the first round will advance to the Semi-Final round. Home run totals from the first round will carry over to the second round and the two players with the most home runs in the Semi-Final round advance to the Championship Round. Home run totals from the first two rounds do not carry over to the Championship Round. The participant with the most home runs in the finals is declared the Home Run Derby champion.
For purposes of this promotion, $1 will be deducted from the regular ticket price ($26) for every home run that Ryan Braun hits in all combined rounds, up to a maximum of 26 home runs.
The State Farm Home Run Derby will be televised on ESPN, beginning at 7pm CT tonight. This year's participants include:
National League (HR's in 2008)
Lance Berkman, Astros (22)
Ryan Braun, Brewers (23)
Dan Uggla, Marlins (23)
Chase Utley, Phillies (25)
American League (HR's in 2008)
Josh Hamilton, Rangers (21)
Evan Longoria, Devil Rays (16)
Justin Morneau, Twins (14)
Grady Sizemore, Indians (23)
Tickets will go on sale tomorrow (Tuesday, July 15), beginning at 9 a.m. CT. A limited supply of tickets will be available and fans will be limited to four tickets per order.
