He would play one of his final seasons as a pro for the Texas Rangers in 2003. In 1989, the Home Run Derby had four AL hitters going against four NL hitters. It was just one round, whoever hit the most was the champion. Back then, ties could happen. Texas Ranger, Ruben Sierra and Cincinnati Red, Eric Davis were declared co champions in 1989.

Probably one of the more forgotten Home Run Derby performances happened in 1993. Juan Gonzalez of the Texas Rangers was the official winner, but the moment everybody remembers from this day was Ken Griffey Jr. During the Home Run Derby, Griffey struck the Camden Yards warehouse with a home run. To this day, he's the only player during a competitive event to hit the warehouse. People think one of Griffey's three home run derby championships happened in 1993. Juan Gonzalez was the official winner and to this day is the youngest player to ever win the Home Run Derby.
