James Wood has a good plan.
He wants to go out on the field in Atlanta on Monday night and win the MLB Home Run Derby.
And then the Washington Nationals superstar wants to go to Waffle House.
Seriously:

Wood has as much natural power as anyone in the derby.
At 6-foot-7, the lefty swinger will definitely be a sight to behold.
