2016 CHRISTMAS CLASSIC PARTICIPANTS ANNOUNCED

The 2016 Christmas Classic will be held on Christmas Eve – December 24th, 2016 in Honolulu Hawaii at Hohokam Park.

How does the MWBL going to handle the Christmas Classic Home Run Derby?  This is an idea that came from a league (BUNT), that the Commissioner checks out from time to time.  Dave Snyderman one of the members came up with the idea a few years ago and which has been refined somewhat as they went along.  The MWBL refined the idea a little more, and adopted the concept for the Christmas Classic Home Run Derby.

Representing the American & National League teams they finished 2016 with, will be the following twelve (12) players.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Mike Trout	Bryce Harper	Jose Bautista	Brian Dozier	Edwin Encarnacion	Jose Abreu
Motor City	Detroit	Tijuana	Mesa	Tijuana	Dallas

NATIONAL LEAGUE
Nolan Arenado	Nelson Cruz	Chris Davis	Yoenis Cespedes	Matt Carpenter	David Ortiz
Clovis	Clovis	Tempe	Tempe	Columbus	New York

It is very simple really. What the MWBL Commissioner will do is take a pair of percentile dice. These are 2 dice, each with 10 sides, and ideally, both with different colors, one red one white. If you ever played any role playing games you probably have seen these dice. They are readily available at hobby shops and game stores that cater to the role play crowd. When rolled, these dice will produce a number between 01 and 00 thus the name percentile dice.
