    Answer: HOME RUN DERBY
    Explanation: Twelve entries in the grid begin with double letters. A single iteration of these double letters spells out HOME RUN DERBY, the answer to the meta!
    That was perhaps the shortest explanation to any meta of mine ever, so let me spend the next several paragraphs talking about how I think will win the Home Run Derby this year. No, no, I'll spare you - but please let me know in the comments how your favorite teams and/or players are doing this year. And if you need to choose a team and like experiencing heartache on a regular basis, come cheer on my beloved Cubbies! Thanks, as always, for solving!
    • Bird Lives 3s · 2024-07-14T11:29:41.538Z
      Witty comment from me on a MikeyG meta? Not gunnar happen.
      • Mikey G constructor · 2024-07-14T13:25:34.414Z
        Oh, for Pete's sake! (I'd say Gunnar wins, but Pete is my second pick.)
      • Wendy Walker 4s · 2024-07-14T12:31:58.208Z
        Nice construction, Mikey -- that must've been challenging.
        • Mikey G constructor · 2024-07-14T13:26:14.179Z
          Yeah, UUR and YYC are not showing up in a puzzle unless they're absolutely relevant, haha.
        • boharr 3s · 2024-07-14T13:02:38.243Z
          Well, I'll be the Judge of that. Thanks Mikey!
          • Philip Chow 13:41 · 2024-07-14T13:37:33.342Z
            I don’t follow baseball but “experiencing heartache on regular bases” hits close to home for my dad’s team - let’s go Mets
            • Mikey G constructor · 2024-07-14T23:50:49.435Z
              Because of 1969, Cubs fans shouldn't love the Mets at all - but I think there's a lot of shared heartache for both of us that we can empathize with!
            • Qmark 3s · 2024-07-14T13:35:48.045Z
              A timely and fun meta! Thanks Mikey!
              • Darth 🤓18:01 · 2024-07-14T13:36:01.759Z
                You hit it out of the ballpark! Thanks, Mikey. :D
                • kurtalert 🤓6:53 · 2024-07-14T14:12:59.582Z
                  Nice quick one, thanks Mikey!
                  • Abide 🤓13:08 · 2024-07-14T13:16:22.871Z
                    Struggled with an Ohtani pun and failed. Having trouble on your Saturday puz as well 🙁
                    • I K Snamhcok 🤓13:16 · 2024-07-14T14:26:13.020Z
                      Looking forward to the HRD. It, along with our glorious Muggle puzzles, will be a welcome distraction from the news. Thanks, Mikey!
                      • hoover 4s · 2024-07-14T15:00:38.270Z
                        As they say in the song, all of the good puns are taken!
                        • woozy 20:31 · 2024-07-14T15:09:48.344Z
                          Homer Under By? What's a Homer Under By?
                          • Anonym00se 13:30 · 2024-07-26T09:21:34.663Z
                            No but that is also how I read the answer, thinking it was really just something niche I wasn't too familiar with!
                            • woozy 20:31 · 2024-07-27T05:32:21.694Z
                              I was joking. I have no idea what a Homerun Derby is but I knew that had to be the correct parsing (Although when solving an havin only a few letters I did think one of the words was UNDER)
                              • Mikey G constructor · 2024-07-27T16:13:12.189Z
                                I laughed at the jocular reparsing - I think an earlier puzzle had the phrase "LOWERCASE F IN MUSIC" and for a while, people were seeing it legitimately as "FIN MUSIC"!
                          • ajk 🤓19:50 · 2024-07-14T16:12:58.107Z
                            Grid was understandably a bit tough by Sunday standards, but the meta is right in the SSS sweet spot. Fun stuff, nicely done. :)
                            • Mikey G constructor · 2024-07-14T23:52:00.603Z
                              Left unchecked, my cluing probably gets Wednesday- or Thursday-level, but I at least made sure to keep the meta smooth sailing!!
                            • michaelm 🤓12:44 · 2024-07-14T15:55:59.245Z
                              MLB should have a doubles derby in your honor this year, what a Witt you are, Mikey G! Thanks!
                              • Mikey G constructor · 2024-07-14T23:51:36.812Z
                                Oooh, good one! He is such an exciting player - so cool to see the Royals ascending again; I really look forward to playing them in a few weeks.
                              • BarbaraK 6s · 2024-07-14T16:19:31.292Z
                                Saw the double leading letters while filling the grid, but didn’t realize how many you’d managed to fit in there till I went back and highlighted.
                                Never heard of that derby, but I’m not all that into horse racing 😉
                                • Dave C 4s · 2024-07-14T16:48:06.062Z
                                  The grid was much harder than the meta. Great construction.
                                  • imontoo 3s · 2024-07-14T17:00:01.665Z
                                    Fun, Mikey! Thanks.
                                    • Carolyn 3s · 2024-07-14T17:20:13.944Z
                                      Nice!
                                      • MatthewL 🤓10:51 · 2024-07-14T14:05:52.631Z
                                        Fun puzzle, Mikey! Perfect for a lazy Sunday morning. Thanks!
                                        • KayW 🤓7:27 · 2024-07-14T15:50:45.659Z
                                          Wow - you hit that one out of the park! Great construction and title. Fantastic way to start a Sunday. Thanks!
                                          • whimsy 20:28 · 2024-07-14T23:37:13.446Z
                                            But aren't triples the best? (per The Great American Novel.) Good game, Mikey! Thanks!
                                            • Sharkicicles 2s · 2024-07-15T01:59:06.463Z

                                              (They’re so terrible this year.)
