CAIRO - A Baptist minister from south Georgia won a share of the Home Run Derby worth $250,000. <br>
<br>
Georgian Johnny Hasick was paired with the Anaheim Angels' Garret Anderson as part of a Century 21 sweepstakes. <br>
<br>
When Anderson won the Home Run Derby Monday night, so did Hasick. <br>
<br>
Hasick was presented with a big cardboard check to be used toward a new home. <br>
<br>
On national television, Hasick thanked God and Anderson for helping the money fall in his lap. <br>
<br>
Hasick says he'll start looking for his new house as soon as possible. <br>
<br>
Anderson defeated Albert Pujols in the final round of the Home Run Derby by hitting nine home runs. Pujols finished second with eight home runs. <br>
<br>
Hasick says he was nervous as he sat on the field in Chicago and watched the Derby. <br>
<br>
He pulled his hat over his eyes. <br>
<br>
When he looked up, he had won a quarter of a million (M) dollars.
