Following is a list of players who have completed an official round of Home Run Derby, listed in the order they have played.


Jeff
Hall of Fame

Player Since: 1994
Bats: R

A founding member of Home Run Derby, Jeff kicked ass when we played at the light pole. He started out slow on the tennis courts but has caught up to Rob in career numbers with the help of "juiced" balls and bats. Jeff has a tendency to be overly patient at times, pissing off all who play with him.
