You’re all caught up. But before we go, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays won the 2023 MLB Home Run Derby. His father won the same event back in 2007. They are the first father-son combo to win the event in its history.

(Trivia answer: Both teams ran out of pitchers. The game was called a 7-7 tie in the 11th inning because both teams ran out of pitchers, and it would have been to hard to have a make up date. A similar thing happened for the 1961 All-Star game, which was stopped due to a rain delay. SOURCE: FunTrvia.com)
