Victims of the Home Run Derby curse

This year's Home Run Derby appears to have resulted in several additions to the list of victims to its infamous curse: Players who participate -- and often win -- the Home Run Derby shall see a dip in power in the second half of the season. This year, coincidentally, the four early victims all came from the American League. None of the National League participants are off to blazing second halves, but they aren't exactly tearing the cover off the ball. Look through this gallery to see current and former sufferers of the Home Run Derby curse.
