HOME RUN DERBY | Matt Holliday vs. Jackson Holliday vs. Ethan Holliday vs. Bat Bro Will

[@JJ721999]

Matt Holiday is low key living every mans dream. Having a long and successful career in the MLB, then having your two sons be some of the top prospects in baseball, but still being young and healthy enough to show them up in a home run derby lol

Wanna hear something crazier? That other kid was his third son whose I think 9 or 10 so there’s a fourth holiday otw

Watched Matt at Coors field score the winning run in the play-in game for win 163 to get a wild card spot and ultimately make it to the WS, fireworks blasting off in the right field upper deck that’s now known as “The Rooftop”. Ethan has some autos out there..,I pulled a 16U USA of him, and Jackson is a legit MLB star in the making. Matt hits monster bombs! Matt’s early days smashing ginormous homers at Coors field was normal and he had the 2007 NL MVP in the bag for sure!!
