When Jayson Werth reached 10 home runs Saturday against the Phillies, it set off a quest in these parts to find the most surprising seasons of double-digit homers in Los Angeles Dodger history. Here's the countdown:

10. Marquis Grissom, 2001 - 21 A borderline selection, considering that Grissom came to the Dodgers in '01 with no less than nine consecutive seasons of 10 homers or more. Having been acquired for the declining Devon White, however, few expected anything more than a washed-up player.
9. Todd Hollandsworth, 1996 - 12 At age 23, Hollandsworth was the least heralded of the Dodgers' five consecutive Rookies of the Year.
8. Eric Karros, 1992 - 20 Karros had a power reputation entering Spring Training - what he didn't have was a job, until the Dodgers made room on their roster for him on the last day of the exhibition season.
7. Billy Grabarkewitz, 1970 - 17 As a 24-year-old in 1970, Grabarkewitz slammed the first 17 home runs of his career, than never hit more than five in a season and retired with 28.
6. Lee Lacy, 1978 - 13 A longtime part-timer who led the Dodgers with 13 pinch hits in '78, Lacy became the first major leaguer to hit home runs in three consecutive pinch-hit at-bats. He did have six pinch-hit home runs in 1977, taking some of the surprise out of his total the following year.
5. Len Gabrielson, 1968 - 10 In the eighth season of a nine-year, 37-homer career, Gabrielson reached double digits for the only time.
4. Kevin Elster, 2000 - 14 Elster came out of retirement to shock the inaugural crowd at San Francisco's new baseball park with a three-homer day.
3. Jayson Werth, 2004 - 10 You just don't expect a fringe pickup who misses weeks and weeks of the season to become a power threat so quickly. Werth is averaging a home run every 14.3 at-bats.
2. Paul Lo Duca, 2001 - 25 The perennial minor leaguer, 29 years old with five career home runs entering the season, Lo Duca reached 10 home runs before the end of June.
1. Dave Ross, 2003 - 10 Ross hit his 10 home runs in 124 at-bats - a surprising feat then, an even more surprising feat now given his current struggles.
