Since approximately World War II, a spoken variety of Standard German with dialect substrate has been superseding the traditional dialects mentioned so far. This development knows a north-to-south movement, the north being early to supplant the traditional language, whereas in the south, there is still a considerable part of the population that communicates in South Hessian. In most of the areas, however, the traditional language is close to extinction, whereas until the first half of the 20th century, almost the entire population spoke dialect in almost all situations. The Upper Class started to speak Standard German beginning in the late 19th century, so for decades, the traditional language served as a sociolect. Hesse has been a parliamentary republic since 1918, except during Nazi rule (1933–1945). The German federal system has elements of exclusive federal competences, shared competences, and exclusive competences of the states.
Each player received ten outs per round as they attempted to hit as many home runs as they could. Wright enters with only three home runs in 159 at-bats at Citi Field this season. Since the ballpark opened in 2009, he's hit 37 homers at home and 50 on the road. The total amount of money distributed will be determined by the home runs hit during the competition. For each Gold Ball home run hit by a participant after the ninth out throughout the Chevrolet Home Run Derby, Chevrolet and Major League Baseball will combine to donate $23,000 to designated charities.

Prior to moving to Washington, the franchise was represented in the Derby by Montreal Expos All-Stars Hubie Brooks , Larry Walker , Henry Rodriguez and Vladimir Guerrero . During the breaks in the action, Clovis High School shortstop Jacob Gatewood, a potential top pick in the 2014 draft, outslugged another potential 2014 draftee, Palmetto, GA outfielder/firstbaseman Kel Johnson in a parallel derby. Gatewood hit nine home runs in three minutes in that derby's first round, blasting rockets to right field.
He was not originally selected by NL captain David Wright, but he took over for Carlos Gonzalez when the Rockies outfielder bowed out. The 2005 Derby was the first "we are the world" long ball contest. The top four, regardless of their league affiliation, have advanced to the second round. If a tie existed among players for advancement into Round 2, the player with the most regular season home runs at the All-Star break advanced. The second tie breaker, if necessary, is distance of longest home run in Round One. There's a certain irony to Wright being in a Home Run Derby at Citi Field.

Most of the population of Hesse lives in the southern part, in the Rhine Main Area. The principal cities of the area include Frankfurt am Main, Wiesbaden, Darmstadt, Offenbach, Hanau, Giessen, Wetzlar, and Limburg. Other major towns in Hesse are Fulda in the east, and Kassel and Marburg an der Lahn in the north. The densely populated Rhine-Main region is much better developed than the rural areas in the middle and northern parts of Hesse. Around the turn of the 20th century, Darmstadt was one of the centres of the Jugendstil. Until 1907, the Grand Duchy of Hesse used the Hessian red and white lion barry as its coat-of-arms.

The Landgrave Frederick II (1720–1785) ruled Hesse-Kassel as a benevolent despot, from 1760 to 1785. He combined Enlightenment ideas with Christian values, cameralist plans for central control of the economy, and a militaristic approach toward diplomacy. He funded the depleted treasury of the poor government by loaning 19,000 soldiers in complete military formations to Great Britain to fight in North America during the American Revolutionary War, 1776–1783. These soldiers, commonly known as Hessians, fought under the British flag.
Hesse has a dense highway network with a total of 24 motorways. The internationally important motorway routes through Hesse are the A3, A5, and A7. Close to Frankfurt Airport is the Frankfurter Kreuz, Germany's busiest and one of Europe's busiest motorway junctions, where the motorways A3 (Arnhem-Cologne-Frankfurt-Nuremberg-Passau) and A5 (Hattenbach-Frankfurt-Karlsruhe-Basel) intersect. The A5 becomes as wide as four lanes in each direction near the city of Frankfurt am Main, and during the rush-hour, it is possible to use the emergency lanes on the A3 and A5 motorway in the Rhine-Main Region, adding additional lanes. Other major leading Hesse highways are the A4, the A44, the A45, the Federal Highway A66 and the A67.
Prince Fielder, Detroit Tigers
The next year, he rebounded to 29 homers, but 17 of them came on the road, and his strikeout rate spiked as well. In 2011, he was back down to 14 homers, nine on the road. In June, MLB named Robinson Canó of the New York Yankees and David Wright of the New York Mets the Home Run Derby team captains.
Cano's home runs on contact percentage has increased in four of the last five seasons from a career low 2.6 percent in his miserable 2008 season to his career-best 6.9 percent this year. He set a career high with 33 home runs last year and is on pace for 36 this season. Two years ago, he was the surprise winner of the Derby, blasting a total of 32 home runs, tied for third all time in this event, while hitting off his father, former Astros righty Jose Cano, in Phoenix. Cano is the AL captain again this year, and will hear boos in the Derby once again, this time from the rival Mets fans. With 15 home runs this season, will compete in his first career Home Run Derby. He will become the eighth different player in Rockies history to participate, joining Dante Bichette , Ellis Burks , Walker, Vinny Castilla , Todd Helton , Matt Holliday and Gonzalez.
In addition, Chevrolet plans to award the winner of the Home Run Derby an all-new 2014 Silverado. The two hometown players, Cano and Wright, are near the bottom of the odds despite the fact that both have done well in past derbies. The odd choice, Michael Cuddyer, is given the lowest chances of winning, and no one is particularly surprised at that.

College baseball legends Dustin Ackley, Steve Arlin, Will Clark and Mark Kotsay were inducted into the Omaha College Baseball Hall of Fame prior to the game and were recognized on the field during the event. The 29th annual Home Run Derby will take place at Citi Field Monday night at 8 p.m. Eastern as part of this week's All-Star festivities.
