Monday night is an annual tradition that baseball fans have come to circle on the calendar.
Every year on the night before the All-Star Game, a Home Run Derby is held in the same stadium where the All-Star game is played.

Believe it or not, the Home Run Derby has been around since the 1960s when it was a television series where the winner at the time got $2,000 (sorry, not doing the calculation of what that is in today’s dollars, but trusting that was a healthy amount of dough back then).
But now, it has evolved into a made-for-TV-spectacle for one night at a time where very little else is going on in the sports world.
In light of that, see if you can bat 1.000 on this Home Run Derby history quiz.
