The midpoint of the 2010 Major League Baseball season is upon us, and that means it is time for Home Run Derby 2010. The long drives and made to wow the fans, but charitable organizations will take away lasting meaning from the “Go to Bat” program of Major League Baseball and State Farm insurance. Baseball fanatics choose the charity, and players make an effort to go long. Charitable donations to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and a trip to the 2010 World Series are up for grabs.

Home Run Derby 2010 means much to charities
The “Go to Bat” program is designed to make a difference in the community, and Home Run Derby 2010 is a reminder of how Major League Baseball and State Farm are committed to making a lasting impact on their communities, beyond the playing field. After registering at the “Go to Bat” web portal, fans could be eligible for random selection by State Farm on a weekly basis, and 10 weekly winners can have $ 100 granted to their charity of choice. By playing an online Home Run Derby 2010 game through State Farm’s site, fans can increase their chance of being selected (and their charity’s chance of winning). A trip for two individuals to the grand baseball stage of the 2010 World Series comes for one of the 10 weekly winners. The “Go to Bat” competition extends through the second half of the MLB season and ends on September 26.
More charitable gold at Home Run Derby 2010
It doesn’t matter whether it’s Miguel Cabrera, Corey Hart, Matt Holliday, David Ortiz, Hanley Ramirez, Nick Swisher, Vernon Wells or Chris Young who sends the most home runs to the bleachers at Anaheim’s Angel Stadium, the Boys and Girls Clubs of America will come out on top. That’s because State Farm will donate $ 3,000 per homer hit during Home Run Derby 2010, and $ 17,000 if a player hits the “Gold Ball” out (when a batter has only one out remaining). In addition, one lucky Orange County, Calif. will get a $ 50,000 gift from State Farm, while the remaining seven chapters in the region will walk away with $ 10,000 each. Not to be outdone, the fan-selected charity that receives probably the most support will get an additional $ 25,000 boost from State Farm.
Who will touch ‘em all in Home Run Derby 2010?
Go with Miguel Cabrera. He’s pacing the NL in homers, so expect him to open some eyes.
