2014 CHRISTMAS CLASSIC PARTICIPANTS ANNOUNCED
The 2014 Christmas Classic will be held on December 24th, in Honolulu Hawaii at Hohokam Park.
How is the MWBL going to handle the Christmas Classic Home Run Derby? This is an idea that came from a league (BUNT), that I check out from time to time, and think has a great web site. 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.

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.
Representing the American League & National League will be the following twelve (12) players.

The Mid-West Baseball League 2012 Christmas Classic Home Run Derby was played in Honolulu Hawaii on Christmas Day.
12 MWBL Participants represented their Mid-West Baseball League Franchises.  Price Fielder, Albert Pujol, Curtis Granderson & Mark Reynolds made it out of the first round. Granderson and Reynolds then moved forward to the Finals. One MWBL Franchise Owner could be heard saying “I hate it when Tempe even makes the Finals in anything – let alone win it”. With that statement, it pretty much locked it up for Curtis Granderson who knocked one more than Mark Reynolds to win it all.
