Former Cub Hee-Seop Choi has been chosen to participate in the Home Run Derby on Monday.

Can you imagine telling him a couple years ago that he'd be hitting in the derby and teammate Sammy Sosa would not in 2005? He wouldn't believe it.

The 8 batters are:

Hee-Seop Choi of the Los Angeles Dodgers who represents Korea
Philadelphia's Bobby Abreu (Venezuela)
Pittsburgh's Jason Bay (Canada)
Atlanta's Andruw Jones (the Netherlands)
Milwaukee's Carlos Lee (Panama)
Boston's David Ortiz (Dominican Republic)
Detroit's Ivan Rodriguez (Puerto Rico)
Texas' Mark Teixeira (United States).
