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 2017 with, will be the following twelve (12) players. (New this season – No Mid-West Baseball League Franchise will have more than one representative.
