Default Accidental cross pollination

I had some involuntary cross pollination go on last year. I saved my seeds from my tomatoes last year. and used them this year. Last year I had Big cherry plants, produced 1oz, 3/4" in diameter tomatoes. well some of the plants grow just like the cherries put produce tomatoes that are 2" in diameter. See the difference?

I have two plants that are suppose to be Kentucky Yellow Beefsteak And I get these. When ripened fully they turn a very deep red color. They taste excellent! they are very meaty inside and are low in acid. I had one this size for my supper last night on my burger. YUM! Should have took a picture of that one. I am guessing the yellow pollinated with celebrity because they were planted closest together last year and the plants

And its just not the tomatoes, I saved the seeds from come California Wonder Bell Peppers and I got this,

I think they cross bread with jalapenos. I did not save any seeds from the jalapenos last year that I can remember. But yet I have them growing. There is some heat to them but they don't tastes like a jalapeno. Time will tell with these....Very weird.
