Longest Home Run Distance Contest ('17 style)

[EmbraceThePace]

I just hit a 504 foot bomb to straight away center with Carlos Correa at Coors Field.

Then I gave up a 509 footer to Nolan Arenado the next half inning. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Think HRs are going longer this year for some reason.

Just hit a 509' bomb with Justin Bour with a normal swing at Target Field. G'damn. Took a picture because I've never seen one that long in person, but it looks like others are seeing similar results.

Incorporation of backspin, with no other balances in check for it.

No problem, welcome to the 500-foot club! I'm not a part of it lol (except in HRD, but who isn't?).

I know balls are going to far this year and all but it does have me really excited cause I'm hitting that ******* glove in SF this year! I apologize for the extreme profanity there but I've been waiting for 20 years to hit that thing and it's happening this year.

Is this a "challenge accepted" kind of "I'm hitting it," or is this a "I've already done it multiple times" kind of "I'm hitting it?"

By the way...

No I've really been waiting my entire life almost to hit it that thing. My friend Todd went 512 right beside it the other day in HRD and I about lost it. Also I'm not in the 500 club either, even in HRD lol.

And haha haha I know just messing with you.
