Who did you hit your first HR with this year?

[Marino]

With the upgraded hitting this year, who all did you guys hit your first HR with?

For me it was Casey Blake off of Tim Lincecum off all people. He hung a curve ball, and I killed it right over the CF wall.

Jay Gibbons, pinch hit, 2 run homer off Sergio Romo. Went just inside the right field pole to go ahead 5-4 in the bottom of the 7th and win it.

I hit one in the Demo with Kinsler...
Does that count?
I have yet to score a run in 3 games on the retail version.

First Normal swing HR: Josh Hamilton in the demo ~420 ft. to left center

First Normal in final game: Geovany Soto - in the basket (or near it, at least) in left center at Wrigley

First (and only) Contact swing HR - Buster Posey in demo:

No power swing HR's yet, but I've been using it VERY conservatively.

All of the above were with Analog All-Star - pretty much what I've been playing on exclusively for games so far.

Pretty sure it was with Ryan Theriot against Greinke. Hit it a line drive shot that went into the visiting bullpen at Busch. Normal swing.

I've yet to take one out with a contact swing.

Power swing, hit one with Nyjer Morgan and Adam LaRoche against Atlanta. Both to right field.

Joey Votto against Jordan Zimmerman in Washington, a shot just over left center. Brought the score to 3-1 WAS, but en route to an 8-4 Reds win.

Before or after being no hit by Livan Hernandez?

Chris Young grand slam off Shawn Camp to right-center. Not only a slam, but it gave us the lead 6-5 in 6th inning!

Before.

It was off some A's pitcher in the very first game I played. I remember thinking "this isn't that hard", and then I lost that game, lost to PittsFrigginBurgh, and then Livan "83mph Fastball" Hernandez threw a no-hitter on me.
