"Every ball I've hit that I haven't felt, I knew I hit well," Zimmerman says.

Yep

Marking for my 11yo son to read.

He plays baseball, and baseball is all he talks, thinks, and dreams about, too. For now. :-) I’m enjoying it while it lasts.

From the Article: Contrary to the lore surrounding historic, titanic blasts — like Mickey Mantle's fabled 565-ft. shot in 1953 — physicists estimate the farthest a man can hit a ball, at sea level, without help from the wind, is about 475 ft.

I saw Harmon Killebrew hit a home run at the old Angel Stadium (when the Big A Scoreboard was behind the fence in left field). The Santa Ana winds were blowing that day IN towards home plate from center field. They measured the blast the next day at 525 feet.
