The participants in this year's Home Run Derby include sluggers such as Jose Bautista of Toronto, Prince Fielder of Detroit, and Robinson Cano of New York.
Jose Canseco is not participating, which is probably a good thing for the aforementioned players because if you ask Canseco, he would win.

Normally it would be easy to make fun of Canseco for this, especially since he hasn't seen his name on a major league roster in over a decade. But when you're playing for the Worcester Tornadoes in the Can-Am League and mashing the ball at a .194 clip with a staggering total of one home run and seven RBI, you've earned the right to be a little cocky.
