wow!!!!!

[element1151]

At first i thought you were talking about the Simm league, because Bonds who is on my team has a 498 and a 456 ft HR's. 514 ft is an amazing distance for a HR.

[yeszir]

Wow. Of course he had to do it in Japan with none of us watching too.

[mosox]

Papi hit it on a 3-0 count. I went back to listen to the radio broadcast on mlb.com and people were chanting "Let's go Red Sox" while he was hitting. It's a shame ESPN or FSN isn't picking up the games for TV.

[mosox]

Story link on the HR.

[BoSox Rule]

I wonder how many players have hit a homerun in the spring training, the regular season, the all-star game, the division series, the alcs, the world series, and the Japan series?

YOU ARE THE MAN. But the link is dead for me. Can you tell me how to get to it on Yahoo?

[stocker323]

I don't know how to get it on Yahoo, I got the link from another site.

[yeszir]

Yea, the link doesnt work for me either. I guess I'll see eventually, but damn.

yes, that was what i was aiming at... it was sort of an obscure reference to it

[stocker323]

When I click it, it works.

 

EDIT: It seems dead to me, I'll try to dig up another one.

[YanksHater213]

Well, get it to work for us... or its your head

[stocker323]

Maybe this one works.

[schillingouttheks]

yes it works, and wow that thing was BLASTED...HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.

[element1151]

Damn that is a long way.

[YanksHater213]

OH s***!

[Gertie]

Yep. He beasted it. All you can really say.

[yeszir]

Damn. That was the most powerful looking swing I have ever seen. He got all of his weight behind it and just KILLED it. That's got to be the most amazing homerun I've ever seen, topping Manny's light tower blast from a few years ago.

[RedSoxRooter]

HOLY s***. That would have gone out of Fenway. It would have gone out over the new Budweiser seats .

[mosox]

He crushed that ball. I think it was still going up when it hit the lights.

[DOrtiz4prez]

Wasn't the record at Fenway like 504 or something.

[CalvnHobs6]

Ted Williams hit one 502. Manny hit one 501.

But Manny's was definitely farther than Ted's, we all know it. That was his light tower blast. They just wanted to let Ted keep the record, understandably.

[RedSox4538]

Can you find a video of that one, I haven't seen that one yet.

[schillingouttheks]

same here....
