That familiar follow through to Matt Kemp‘s swing is an iconic image ingrained into almost every Dodger fan’s memory. The 2011 season was a special one for Kemp. The Bison was an All-Star for the first time in his career, recipient of the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Awards with a OPS+ of 172 and a career-high 115 runs and 126 RBI. He fell just short of the 40-40 club with 39 home runs and just missed out on capturing the Triple Crown. He was then snubbed in the MVP voting, finishing second to controversial Ryan Braun.
