Every winner of the MLB Home Run Derby in the 2000s

The Home Run Derby is one of baseball’s best events.

We get to see baseballs fly out of All-Star Game host stadiums — sometimes, literally OUT of them — at a huge rate. And because home runs are awesome, that equation — home runs multiplied by amount, with added distance — makes for some fun memories and must-watch status. It turns batting practice into a game!

As we get set for this year’s edition, let’s look back at every winner of the event in the 21st century, which includes some sluggers who have won it multiple times.

Here’s the full list of the champions since 2000:
