Complete ESPN broadcast of the 1994 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby, which was held at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. This was just the second year that ESPN broadcast the Home Run Derby as its own program, and the first year that the program was broadcast as a full hour (with commercials). It wasn't long before the Home Run Derby was as popular as the All-Star Game in terms of TV ratings. Monster home runs by the likes of Frank Thomas, Ken Griffey Jr., and Fred McGriff made for an exciting competition just a few weeks before a strike shut down the remainder of the 1994 season.
