Derrek Lee – 2005
Pujols has done it, don’t know the year.

Not sure about the third one.
Seymour Butts

Top of my head Larry Walker did it at Coors field ( mostly). But I don’t think that was this decade, It was before the turn of the Millenia. I don’t think he’s still active.

Ahh… figured it out, but I cheated on the third, so I will hold off saying who it is.

Close….Todd Helton in 2001. Thanks MLB.com!!
Pujols was in 2004.

Yea… its Helton.

So Helton (2001), Pujols (2004), and Lee (2005)

FWIW, while Helton was clearly helped by playing at Coors, he was still pretty awesome on the road:

Home: .384/.478/.774 OPS: 1.252 – 31 2b, 27 HR
Road: .286/.383/.593 OPS: .977 – 23 2b, 22 HR

But man… his home numbers were ridiculous.
Terrelle Pryor 2

I would have guessed Pujols in some year, Lee in 2005, and Soriano in 2006
Johnny come too Lately

Is it ok to still guess the answer?
