Why on earth is Cespedes holding a WWE belt in that photo?

...I dunno....supposedly, Adam Jones is a huge wrestling fan and was given the replica of the actual belt and decided to give it to the winner of the HR Derby.

ok... I just find it really weird... I don't see the point in it, but to each his own I guess...

...lol..yeah, but like you were asking, "why a wwe belt?"...of all the things to give a HR Derby winner?

...rumor is that next year's winner will receive Joey Chestnut's hot dog eating championship belt.
