As I mentioned in my previous entry,

I’m going to use the video game MLB The Show 2012 to simulate a three round Home Run Derby.  Each commenter or retweeter has received a player representative in random order.  A list can be found HERE.

The first round will simulate 32 different home run derbys.

The winner of each of those 32 home run derbys will move on to the next round.

The second round will be four pools of 8 players each.

The winners of each pool in the second round will advance to the final championship round, where we will crown a winner.

Here are the results:  Check back often as I will update as I complete this tournament:
