35 minutes
In the 1983 MLB Home Run Derby, we're looking at a face-off between some of the most powerful hitters of the era: Mike Schmidt, Jim Rice, Tony Armas, and Dale Murphy. The '83 season was a standout for these players, each making significant contributions to their respective teams. Mike Schmidt, the Philadelphia Phillies' third baseman, was fresh off his second consecutive MVP season, while Boston Red Sox's Jim Rice had been a consistent force at the plate, known for his ability to drive in runs. Tony Armas, playing for the Red Sox as well, was the American League home run leader that year, delivering a whopping 36 home runs. Dale Murphy, the Atlanta Braves' center fielder, was in the midst of his prime, having won the National League MVP in '82 and '83. This matchup is a snapshot of one of the most competitive periods in baseball, with each player having a unique blend of power and precision at the plate.
