I watched that whole game on TV (well, I watch every game). I should’ve told you to make a sign for me to see!

I’m so glad you saw that great game! I hope you had a good time! How was your experience?

All of a sudden we’ve got four extremely capeable starters (Messick, Ciccone, Cantillo, and Bibee joined them last night pitching a 2 - hit shutout). Smith has done an excellent job as closer too.

We got Ciccone in exchange for Josh Naylor.

Love the Mick but that distance doesn't seem physically possible chicoescuela Wednesday #4

It likely rolled on the roof it landed on IbogaProject Wednesday #5

I had long thought it was said to be 565 ft. out of the park but the 600+ number must add in the roll out of the park.. brush Wednesday #6

565 is the number I recall and that also seems dubious to me chicoescuela Wednesday #7

The 565 number was a home run Mantle hit in May 1953 in Washington. rsdsharp Wednesday #8

Thanks for the correx, RS. Somehow the shot you describe got way more coverage... brush Wednesday #10

That may be caused by the presence of the Yankee public relations guy in Washington. rsdsharp Wednesday #12
