There will be a VIP party for 500 people going on in the infield during the event. They will be protected by a net. This is what Occupy Wall Street was fighting against. There will be a food show and open bar going on in the VIP section. And a concert with David Cullen performing near the pitching mound. Also protected by a net.  It’s just crazy enough that it could work.

    Finally, a Home Run Derby I can get behind.

    After far too many years of hearing an endless barrage of “Back, back, backs” while baseballs lollipop over the outfield fence for three hours, the Reading Phillies have dared to make their dreams reality.

    To break down what the above image is showing:

    • Baseball players will hit targets to earn bonus points. These targets include human beings on trampolines and in dunk tanks.
    • There are obstacles that must be missed otherwise points will be deducted.
    • Mascots will be fielding balls. Caught balls will cost players points.
    • There will be a VIP party for 500 people going on in the infield during the event. They will be protected by a net. This is what Occupy Wall Street was fighting against.
    • There will be a food show and open bar going on in the VIP section.
    • And a concert with David Cullen performing near the pitching mound. Also protected by a net.
