Alonso had said he would only participate in the Home Run Derby if he was an All-Star. This certainly is not what MLB had envisioned. In fact, if MLB knew Alonso would put up this kind of performance, there's a good chance they would've just chosen someone else to participate in the derby and give his All-Star spot to another New York Mets player.
