2013 Auburn Celebrity Home Run Derby
Auburn University hosted its annual Celebrity Home Run Derby last night. Among the participants: A's third baseman Josh Donaldson, PGA star Jason Dufner, Giants pitcher and host Tim Hudson, Braves closer Craig Kimbrel and former Major Leaguer Greg Norton.
To raise the stakes, the event was billed as an Iron Bowl Grudge Match. Hudson (Auburn alum) vs. Kimbrel (Alabama fan).
The outcome: Kimbrel wearing orange.

Watching Donaldson, Hudson and the group crush homers with a metal bat is great fun. More important, though, the event supports a great cause, with all proceeds going to the Hudson Family Foundation.
