Short video at link. This baseball was CRUSHED. It would have left the ballpark had it not hit that vertical support.

Miguel Cabrera hit a home run for his 2000th hit yesterday.

If a ball literally went straight up into the Stratosphere, it wouldn’t be a Home Run. It would be considered(correctly) a Ground Rule Double. Regardless of its altitude, a ball has to clear the wall, in ‘Fair’ territory(between the lines) to be a Home Run.

Just saw that video. That ball was CRUSHED. The pitch looked like a Hanging Slider, and that’s what usually happens when a breaking ball doesn’t ‘break’. The pitch ends up being a batting practice speed fast ball, and they tend to go a LONG way in the other direction. lol

Would like to see it, but I’m not going to sit through a 30 second commercial to watch a 10 second baseball clip.

Hey web content providers - get a clue! Unless your commercial bits are ten seconds or less I’m going to close your webpage.

Eric Stults likely regrets leaving a lifeless 89 mph fastball right below Giancarlo Stanton’s belt and over the middle of the plate. Stanton’s mammoth blasts aren’t too surprising anymore, but this shot still doesn’t have a clear landing point, or not one we can find. Perhaps the ball was reduced to smithereens. Perhaps it extended beyond the atmosphere into orbit.

That brilliant piece of writing alone is a hit out of the park.

Last time I saw a ball hit that hard was Pujol’s blast off Brad Lidge in the 2005 playoffs.
