After correctly picking Ryan Howard to win it last year, i have returned to prognosticate this year's winner.
Despite the fact that all the attention will be focused on the water in right field, SBC is a right-handed hitter's park. No lefties are going to hit homers to right center, commonly referred to as "Triples Alley".
Fearless forecast:
Pujols def. Howard in finals.
One person embarrasses himself every year by hitting one HR and it's usually a whitey:
1985 - Steve Garvey - 2, Ryne Sandberg - 2, Jack Clark - 2, Cal Ripken, Jr. - 1
1989 - Mickey Tettleton - 1, Gary Gaetti - 0
1991 - Chris Sabo - 0, Howard Johnson - 0
1993 - Mike Piazza - 0
1994 - Mike Piazza - 0
1996 - Jeff Bagwell - 2
1997 - Jim Thome - 0
1998 - Chipper Jones - 1
1999 - B. J. Surhoff - 2, Shawn Green - 2, Larry Walker - 2, John Jaha (!!!) - 1
2000 - Chipper Jones - 2
2001 - Todd Helton - 2, Troy Glaus - 0
2002 - Lance Berkman - 1, Alex Rodriguez - 2 (come on, A-Rod is whiter than me)
2003 - Richie Sexson - 1, Bret Boone - 0
2005 - Jason Bay - 0
2006 - Troy Glaus - 1
This year will be no exception. Enter Matt Holliday.
