What caused this and how do i prevent it?

Last season the majority of my plants ended up producing tomatoes like this:

I wish i could find a photo of my plants, because a lot of them ended up with black spots and eventually dried up and died.

I've grown tomatoes for quite a while but have never had a season like this.

I got a few different suggestions as to what it was, but after doing some research i'm thinking it was anthracnose?

Last season ('06) started off very cool, then very hot/humid. It was extremely rainy all season long.

Is there anything i can do for this upcoming season to prevent this from happening again?

ETA - i ended up finding a photo of my plant leaves. This photo is from early on in the season, so it doesn't show the extent of the damage.
