Until I left him in the dust with my recent points push, news editor Tim Surette and I had ourselves a bit of an achievement points rivalry. Now that I'm almost 5,000 points ahead of him, Tim has switched to bragging about his prowess in Wii Sports Baseball. I've only played the game once, but that didn't stop me from running my mouth. And because my mouth goes a lot faster than my brain, I accepted Tim's home run derby challenge.

But why should I be the only one to go up against Tim "Long Ball" Surette? I quickly rounded up some GameSpot editors, created a bunch of Miis, and GameSpot's first ever Wii Sports Home Run Derby was born.

I think it's safe to say the 1927 Yankees had nothing on this fearsome lineup of prodigious sluggers. Here's the GameSpot Murderers' Row:
Greg Mueller
Alex Navarro
Brad Shoemaker
Ryan Davis
Brian Ekberg
Jeff Gerstmann
Tim Surette
Aaron Thomas

Did I mention there was a trophy involved? Heck yeah there was a trophy! Check out the video to find out who took home the hardware in GameSpot's Wii Sports Home Run Derby.
