A series of filmed home run contests between two sluggers of the late 1950s/early 1960s, one National Leaguer, one American Leaguer. The batters had to swing at every pitch in the strike zone. Any called strike or batted ball that did not go for a home run was an out. (Three outs per inning.) The batter with the most runs at the end of nine innings won $2000. The loser got $1000. As an added incentive, any batter who hit three home runs in a row got a $500 bonus. Each consecutive home run after the first three in a row was worth an additional $500. While one hitter was at bat, the other sat in the press box with host Mark Scott and talked about both his and the other hitter's career. Filmed at Wrigley Field--home of the Pacific Coast League Los Angeles Angels--where the power alleys were a generous 345 feet from home plate.

aisle, keep in mind that in home run derby, pitchers dont throw full strength to try and beat the batter, they throw pitches that are easy to hit!

Mantle won this folks!The only reason the ending isn't shown with a Part 3 is merely because "DigitalWelfare" is a pathetic petty Mays fan that can't be Honest with who won!

Pitchers threw a lot slower back then as can be seen in this video. Perhaps only Ted Williams from that era would be a great hitter today.

This was Wrigley field Los Angeles. Since some half wit didn't post a part 3 we have to presume this was the second competition between these two. Mantle won the first and Mays the second?Hank Aaron held the record for most money won on Home Run Derby, winning $13,500.
