It is with great sadness that we share the news that our wonderful second generation Bat Dog, Home Run Derby, passed away this weekend.
On Friday, Jan 26, we'll celebrate
#DerbyDay
on what would have been his 10th Birthday.
Today, our beloved Derby would have turned 10 years old. All day long we will be sharing our memories of him, and we encourage you to share your own memories of him with the hashtag

Mel’s popularity transcended generations, all of whom thought of him as their own. His plaque in Monument Park will forever serve to celebrate the significance of his legacy. We extend our deepest condolences to Mel’s wife Jean & the entire Stottlemyre family. - Hal Steinbrenner
