Tonight, Major League Baseball’s biggest hitters will come out for the over-hyped, glorified batting practice we all know and love: The Home Run Derby, 2009. So to add some extra juice to the bat-bash, the good folks at HomRunDerby.com have put together the quintessential Derby drinking game. This thing will leave you so sloshed, you’ll start stumbling around like the Mets.

Drink whenever Chris Berman includes a St. Louis landmark in his Home Run call … “He hit that off the Arch!” / “He hit that to Laclede’s Landing!” / “That’s in the Mississippi” / “That’s over the Anheuser-Busch Brewery!” / “That one’s to EAST St. Louis!!”
Drink if all Berman can do is go “OOOOOHHHHH … OOOOHHHHH … OOOHHHH!!” Drink again when you realize this is an improvement over his normal schtick.
Drink if Berman says NOTHING during a Home Run. It’s happened before. ONCE.
Drink if ESPN’s new Home Run Radar technology is cool. Drink twice if it sucks. Drink three times if it’s a catastrophe.
Drink if Steve Phillips says the word “Mets”
Drink if Steve Phillips brings anything useful to the conversation.
Drink every time Joe Morgan says something that defies all logic or contradicts himself in the same sentence (this one could put you in the hospital).
Finish your drink when you realize that all of Berman’s inane chatter is saving you from hearing more of Joe Morgan’s inane chatter.
Drink anytime you see Erin Andrews. Twice if it’s a butt shot.
