I was scanning the list of past champs while on espn.com's derby tracker. I remember most except for the 80's ones obviously. Which was the most unlikely/weirdest champ in your opinion?

Luis Gonzalez. Clearly he was on steroids that year.

My vote too. Tino's was weird, but he did have a monster year and out dueled Walker.

I'd say Tino. He's definitely no Ryan Howard or Barry Bonds. He's so tall and skinny for a HRD champ.

Wally Joyner hands down. Even on steroids this guy wasn't know for power which goes to show steroids doesn't automatically mean HRs.




Giants > Padres

Pathetic Stat of the Year- Matt Cain has a 3.70 career ERA, but has won just 29 of his 95 starts.

Wally Joyner. I don't remember much about his career, but looking at his stats he looked like a guy that was a gap hitter that got on base a lot.
