MLB TV Schedule, 7/11: Home Run Derby

It's Home Run Derby day! In addition to the main event this evening, ESPN Classic is running episodes of the 1960 TV series "Home Run Derby" from 10 a.m. Eastern through 8 p.m. Eastern, featuring matchups that include Harmon Killebrew vs. Mickey Mantle, Mickey Mantle vs. Willie Mays, Ernie Banks vs. Mickey Mantle and Al Kaline vs. Hank Aaron, all Hall of Famers. This series was filmed at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles, home of the Pacific Coast League's Los Angeles Angels (and the major league Angels in their inaugural season of 1961), and is credited for being part of the inspiration for the current incarnation of the HR Derby.
