5:35Now Playing"Cuban-born baseball player Yoenis Céspedes made history Monday night when he became the first player not chosen for the All-Star game to win the Home Run Derby -- but it was his interview with ESPN reporter Pedro Gomez that caused a stir online.
After the Derby trophy was handed to the baseball star with a "bien hecho," Gomez spoke with the 27-year-old slugger and asked questions in English and Spanish then translated Céspedes' answers for the audience. The interview sparked protest on Twitter, as Derby fans protested against speaking Spanish during an event celebrating "America's pastime," according to Deadspin."
Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
