Dodgers News: Cody Bellinger To Participate in Home Run Derby
It’s been known for a few days now that Cody Bellinger was invited to the Home Run Derby; however, his decision on whether to participate or not was contingent on his father getting the time off of work.
The media consistently asked him for his final decision and he was fairly consistent as well, as you can see below.
Cody Bellinger taped a Post-It note to the chair in his locker:
"SAME ANSWER AS YESTERDAY (DERBY)"
