1. Ken Griffey Jr. - Of course! The only multiple champ in derby history (1994,1998,1999). Do I really need to say anymore.
2. Mark McGwire - Was a 7-time contestant winning the title once in 1992. McGwire was always good in the 1st round, but fell off after. He was amazing in 1999 at Fenway, which Griffey ultimately won.
3. Barry Bonds - Bonds was a 6-time contestant winning his lone title in 1996. Bonds, was always in every contest, never having a really poor performance.
4. Sammy Sosa - His first two contests he finished with only 3 homers. Then he got "juiced up" and won in his third appearance (2000) and finished second and third in his final 2 contests.
5. Dave Parker - Parker won the first ever derby back in 1985, and then came back and finished in second the following year. If your the first one to do anything you should make the list.
WORST
1. Mike Piazza - Hit zero homers in his first appearance in the derby in 1993. Wanting to prove to himself that he could do better he entered the derby the next year, and finished with another goose egg. LOL!
2. Jose Canseco - The big shot "Bash Brother" hit a total of 1 homer in two appearances at the derby (1986, 1990). He later wrote in his book that the pitcher that threw to him was on steroids.
3. Troy Glaus - Put up a zero back in 2001 as a member of the Angels. In 2006, he was a Blue Jay figuring that the change of teams would make a difference. It did he hit one!
4. Nomar Garciaparra - I don't even know why he entered this contest once, let alone twice. Nomar put up a goose egg in his first in 1997, then entered in 1999 at his home park of Fenway where he hit two.
5. Alex Rodriguez - You want to know why he is not entering this year, he has put up a total of 4 homers in his last two derbys (2001, 2002). And hit a total of 4 in his first in 1998.
