Yankees' Robinson Cano Puts On A Show, Wins Home Run Derby With Dad
Table of Content
González and Canó were the most impressive hitters throughout, and they eliminated defending champion David Ortiz of the Red Sox and Milwaukee's Fielder in the second round. And although the Royals fans wouldn't want to hear it, it's not as if Cano went with a handful of Omar Vizquels. What made this usually docile Midwestern town come down full force on Cano as if he were Al Davis?
Gonzalez hit a ball that wound up in the swimming pool in right field — along with Mike Moon, a 26-year-old fan who caught the ball before falling into the water, where he was surrounded by bikini-clad women. While Cano doesn’t want anything to do with the notion that the home run derby has hurt his swing, Cano hasn't been as productive as usual while serving as the team’s No. 4 hitter in the absence of Alex Rodriguez. He’s 15-for-59 (.254) n the 14 games since the break with just three doubles and one home run and he has walked just twice, with an on-base percentage of .274. Cano was hitting .296 and had an on-base percentage of .342 before he participated in the Home Run Derby.
Cano will be Home Run Derby Captain
The four were later joined by a fifth, Koji Uehara, after he won in 2013 with the Boston Red Sox. Eleven more players have gone on accomplish the feat, including David Robertson with whom Cano won a World Series in 2009. Canó suffered through acid reflux during the 2015 season, which resulted from the treatment of the parasite. He was not named to the 2015 All-Star Game roster, ending a streak of five consecutive years as an All-Star. He hit .287 with 21 home runs, 34 doubles, and 79 RBIs in 156 games during the 2015 season, but improved in the second half of the season, batting .330. He tied for 2nd in the AL in double plays grounded into, with 26.

With commercial breaks and other interruptions, the derby has become a three-hour affair that's so slow a regular-season game seems like an Olympic downhill ski race. Before a crowd of 44,820 on the night before the All-Star game, Major League Baseball said Cano set a final-round record. His father, Jose, appeared in six games for the Houston Astros in 1989.

Canó ranked in the top ten among players in the American league in hits, extra base hits, total bases, at bats, doubles, batting average, runs scored, and triples. His 200th hit against the Boston Red Sox to clinch the AL East Division made him and Derek Jeter the first middle infield duo in MLB history to both have 200 hits in the same season. On July 20, 2012, Canó extended his career-high hitting streak to 23 games with a single off of Oakland Athletics pitcher Tommy Milone in a 3–2 Yankees loss.
He spent seventh, eighth, and ninth grades in the Newark School System, attending Barringer High School for one year. When his family moved back to the Dominican Republic, Canó attended San Pedro Apostol High School in San Pedro de Macorís, where he played for the school's baseball and basketball teams. In the Dominican Winter Baseball League he plays for his hometown team, the Estrellas Orientales. Canó has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs twice. In 2018, Canó was suspended from MLB for 80 games for violating the league's joint drug agreement by using furosemide.

Cano, serenaded with a "Billy Butler! Billy Butler!'' chant, hit the wall three times. The Howells had Royals season tickets in years past and lapsed, but got them again when they learned the All-Star game was coming. Kauffman's also undergone a major-league transformation over the past few seasons. The setting for the Howells' seats in section 101 has to be among the best in the league.
He won the Home Run Derby Monday night in a duel with Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. In another Yankees-Red Sox showdown, Canó outslugged Adrian González in the final round of the All-Star Home Run Derby on Monday night, even through his Boston rival made the biggest splash at Chase Field.

Jeter already has 11 items in the Hall dating back to 1996, ranging from the bat he used to win the 2000 All-Star Game MVP to his 2006 World Baseball Classic Team USA jersey. Nick Swisher missed his second straight game with a strained left quadriceps. “It’s good to see somebody who knows where you like the ball,” said Cano, a three-time All Star, but in his first Home Run Derby. Jose, who pitched briefly for the Astros in 1989, pitches to his son during the winter and was at Yankee Stadium throwing batting practice Friday. Two days into his injury, on May 15, Canó was suspended 80 games for testing positive for Furosemide, a diuretic better known as Lasix, which was a violation of MLB's performance-enhancing drugs policy. Canó returned to the Mariners on August 14, having served his suspension.
As his numbers have dipped, though, Cano said he feels he’s been doing a good job in Rodriguez’s place in the lineup. Gonzalez and Cano were the most impressive hitters throughout, and they eliminated defending champion David Ortiz of the Red Sox and Milwaukee's Fielder in the second round. St. Louis' Holliday , Toronto's Jose Bautista , Milwaukee's Rickie Weeks and the Dodgers' Matt Kemp didn't get past the opening round. Jose Canó was 1-1 with a 5.09 ERA in three starts and three relief appearances in 1989 — his only major league action.
It was only the second time that Canó went on the disabled list in his career.

On September 13, Canó was ejected for the first time in his career for arguing with Vic Carapazza over a strike call. Canó hit his 300th career home run on September 21 versus Keone Kela of the Texas Rangers, becoming just the third second baseman in history to reach the milestone, following Jeff Kent and Rogers Hornsby .

During August, he began to suffer from gastrointestinal symptoms that were later diagnosed as resulting from an intestinal parasite. Canó was called up to the major leagues on May 3, 2005, while hitting .330 in 108 at bats with Columbus, and took over second base from Tony Womack.
