This year’s Home Run Derby was chock full of superstars from local favorites Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard to Derby newcomers Nelson Cruz and Joe Mauer. But it was another slugger who took home the crown: Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder.

Fielder and Nelson Cruz led the way in the first round with 11 bombs apiece and were joined in the second round by Ryan Howard and Albert Pujolz who lifted 8 and 5 homers respectively in the first round. The final National League participant was Adrian Gonzalez while the American League was represented by Carlos Pena and Brandon Inge.

The 11 Home Runs were enough to move Fielder and Cruz on to the final round where the Prince took an 4-3 win for the 2009 Home Run Derby Crown. Fielder and his dad, Cecil are now the only father and son combination to ever win the Home Run Derby.

The season is in full swing now, so grab some Brewers tickets and watch the Derby champ in action.
