Nick Swisher couldn't believe what he was hearing.
When Major League Baseball invited him to participate in the State Farm Home Run Derby, the Yankees slugger couldn't say no.
Swisher confirmed that he will be aiming for the fences on Monday at Angel Stadium, trying to go deep as one of the four competitors representing the American League.
"I used to do this in the backyard when I was 6 years old, and now I get to actually do it on the big stage," Swisher said.
Swish swings for the fences every time anyway, so I don't think the Yankees will be too concerned about his swing. Good luck Swish!
