The MLB Home Run Derby began in 1985 as an extra event for baseball fans during the All-Star break.
During the first competition, the 10-man field combined to hit 33 home runs. A mere 25-years later in 2010, an eight-man field combined to hit 94.
Times sure have changed, which made it all the more difficult to decipher the good, the bad and the ugly in terms of Home Run Derby competitors.
On 18 different occasions there has been a contestant who didn't hit a single home run. A list made up of those names would be no fun, and quite frankly, it would make no sense.
Guys like Gary Gaetti, Brandon Inge and Chris Sabo had no business being part of a Home Run Derby in the first place, so I didn't bother including them on this list.
This list represents 10 players who came into a derby with at least some expectation to succeed—while they all ended up failing miserably.
