    Random Weirdest Homerun Derby champ ever?

    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.

    Wally Joyner, no question
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    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.

    What the **** does being tall and skinny have to do with it?? Tino has 135 more HRs than Wally Joyner

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

    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.
