The 'MLB Home Run Derby winners' quiz

Created on July 9, 2025 | Total tries: 139 | Average Score: 28.8 out of 40 (72%) | Quiz FAQ

Byron Buxton played in 100 games for the Minnesota Twins for the first time since 2017 in 2024, and while the Twins are having a disappointing season, Buxton isn’t to blame. He’s slashed .270/.335/.544 with 20 home runs and 53 RBI as well as 16 stolen bases en route to an All-Star selection. With this year’s Midsummer Classic festivities taking place in his home state of Georgia, Buxton is also going to participate in the Home Run Derby.

Buxton said his son played a big part in his decision to enter the event.

"He always is like, 'Dad, if you do this, I want to bring you a towel!' and I'm like, 'All right,'” the 11-year veteran said.

“That's all he cares about. He wants Dad to do it so he can bring me a towel and a Gatorade. And for me, that's special.”

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Buxton is just the eighth Twin to participate in the Derby and will look to become the second to win it. With that being said, how many of the Home Run Derby winners can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
