Servers who failed the orders to the sluggers launching dingers, the battery only served heat on Monday during the Home Run 2025 derby.

Battery visitors, like Chig Okonkwo, said the excitement in the crowd was palpable.

“You know that these guys work hard, so bring fans here – I know they are very happy for that. It is an exciting atmosphere for sure,” said Okonkwo Brittany Kleinpeter of Channel 2.

For many fans, the evening was not part of chasing circuits – it was a question of chasing history.

The derby returned to Atlanta for the first time in 25 years, and the Atlanta Braves player Matt Olson, who attended the last Atlanta derby in 2000 as a fan, now found himself playing.

Subscription holders like David Gollar were betting on the Gwinnett County native.

“Matt Olson will no doubt win,” said Gollar.

The night culminated with large crowds, large swings and even more important dreams.

Tickets for the event seemed limited to third -party sites, with lively seats indicating that only 3% of the tickets were available before the derby. The event has historically been one of the most popular among fans.

Cal Raleigh, the Seattle Mariners receiver, won the derby. He beat Junior Caminero of the Rays of Tampa Bay during the last round. This is the first time that a recipient has earned the home run derby.
