Former Red Sox general manager Dan Duquette said in an interview with WEEI recently that the 1999 Home Run Derby was "juiced." Ken Griffey Jr. won the competition at Fenway Park that year, with Jeromy Burnitz and Mark McGwire rounding out the top three. "That was something when (Mark) McGwire was hitting them out; they were going up over the light tower. I'm gonna tell you for a fact, those balls were juiced," Duquette said. "We've got juiced balls for the Home Run Derby, I bet you didn't know that ... Rawlings [juiced the balls]. It added to the entertainment value."
