Going into the Home Run Derby on Monday night, we look back and celebrate the complete list of winners.

The Home Run Derby has a great history. Whether it is Chris Berman yelling “BACK, BACK, BACK” or Josh Hamilton hitting blast after blast into the night at Yankee Stadium, there is always something to remember.

Perhaps nothing is more iconic than Hamilton’s night after his incredible return from drug abuse. There are some candidates, including Ken Griffey Jr.’s masterful show at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. For every generation to watch the derby, there is always a “wow” moment.
