Check out the amazing food at HRDX
We told you that a day out at FTX MLB Home Run Derby X was going to be a full day festival. Sure, there'll be dingers. Sure, there'll be music with AJ Tracey headlining the event at London's Crystal Palace Park on July 9. And yeah, there is going to be some amazing grub for you to chow down. After all, what good is a day out at the park without a little gut-stuffing, too?
