Past winners of this "award," besides Kingman, include Steve Balboni, Fred Lynn, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire. The 2007 winner was Cincinnati Reds catcher Dave Ross, who hit 17 home runs - with a mere 39 RBIs. He hit just .203, and struck out 92 times in 311 at bats...

Southwest Ohio, anchored by businesslike Cincinnati, is Republican country, where George W. Bush won huge margins and narrowly captured the state in 2004.
