      Jimmy Wynn? Didn't they call him "The Toy Cannon" because he was a small guy with a ton of power?

          Morgan is correct, but Ott is not. Though he stood only 5'9", he weighed 170 according to BBRef.

          Wynn is correct and is number one.

          Both are a pound over the required minimum. Players must weigh less than 165. Besides, I was going to exclude Sosa because of his significant weight gain later on.

                        "(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack

                        "I have the ultimate respect for Whitesox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Redsox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country."--Jim Caple, ESPN (Jan. 12, 2011)

                          Wilson weighed a hefty 190.

                          First two are correct, but Campaneris didn't make the home run cut.
