    First Home Run Thread 17

    So I always like seeing who people hit their first home run with and off of what pitcher! You can't tell me you don't get pumped after your first bomb in a new version on the Show, especially with the mammoths people are hitting this year.

    Try to include:

    Hitter:
    Pitcher:
    Ballpark and what part of the field:
    Distance (if you remember):
    Any other cool scenario:

    For me it was...

    Hitter: Josh Bell
    Pitcher: Chris Sale
    Ballpark and what part of the field: PNC Park, Right Center
    Distance (if you remember): 432 I think
    Any other cool scenario: Josh Bell (Switch hitter) hitting off the right side in the bottom of the 4th. Was also wearing the Pirates home Thursday uniforms (digi camo)

    Re: First Home Run Thread 17

    Hitter: Jhonny Peralta
    Pitcher: Wade Davis
    Ballpark and what part of the field: Busch Stadium - Left Field
    Distance (if you remember): over 400 but forget exact distance.
    Any other cool scenario: With Molina on first in the bottom of the ninth Peralta's home run was a walk off winner for the Cardinals after their bullpen had given up the lead in the top of the ninth

        Re: First Home Run Thread 17

        Hitter: Josh Reddick

        Pitcher: Danny Farquhar

        Ballpark and what part of the field: Minute Maid Park, right-center into the home bullpen.

        Distance (if you remember): 390 ft (roughly)

        Any other cool scenario: Astros were down 3-1 in the bottom of the ninth after Tampa took an early lead in the first inning off a homerun from Brad Miller and doubles by Longo and Dickerson. We start the bottom of the ninth with Cedeno is pitching and Astros get single from Beltran and double from Yuli. I pinch hit Gattis for McCann and he hit a ball into the hole at short and Duffy jump-throws offline and LoMo can't get back to the bag in time while Yuli races from second all the way home surprising LoMo and he can't make the throw in time tieing the game up with Josh Reddick coming up to bat. Rays bring in Farquhar and the rest is history. Reddick shows how he makes a living by catching a hanging breaking ball on the inside corner deposits it into the bullpen. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

          Hitter: Anthony Rizzo
          Pitcher:Corey Kluber
          Ballpark and what part of the field:Wrigley Field, Right, center.
          Distance (if you remember): 480
          Any other cool scenario:Was just playing around in a game to test things out. In my first at bat with Rizzo he cranked a 3 run shot after both Schwarber and Bryant got singles.

            Hitter: Ben Zobrist (Cubs)
            Pitcher: Warren Spahn (Braves)
            Ballpark and what part of the field: SunTrust Park, right field
            Distance (if you remember): Don't recall
            Any other cool scenario: RETRO MODE GAME. Zobrist hit a screaming two-run shot to right in the top of the 9th to give the Cubs a 2-1 lead. Bruce Sutter would hold down the fort in the bottom half, and the Cubs went on to victory.

              First Home Run Thread 17

              Hitter: Odubel Herrera

              Pitcher: Noah Syndergard

              Ballpark and part of field: Citizens Bank Park, left center

              Distance: over 400

              Cool scenario: It was my first game of MLB 17 and Syndergard was dominating, he actually struck out 14 by the time he was done. The Mets just went up in the top of the 6th on a solo homer by Curtis Granderson to make it 1-0. In the bottom half, I work a lead off walk with Jeremy Hellickson who had been just as good as Syndergard, and next batter, Herrera gets a fastball out over the outer half of the plate and goes opposite field to make it 2-1, which was the final score.

                  Hitter: Josh Harrison
                  Pitcher: Mike Foltynewicz
                  Ballpark: SunTrust Park Left Center
                  Distance: 383 Barely cleared wall on a line drive


                  Another cool scenario: Playing a rainy night game at PNC. Maybe it was just me but the ball was just dying in the outfield. Normal rollers to the wall would slow down due to the wet field (I'm guessing). At first I didn't like the rain graphics but then it grew on me.

                  Made the batting helmets look pretty.

                        Hitter: Melvin Upton Jr.
                        Pitcher: Rick Porcello
                        Park: Fenway Park
                        Distance: About 350ft

                        Managed to sneak a shallow fly ball inside pesky's poll down the RF line of Fenway!

                        My first "no doubter" was Justin Turner off Jeff Samardzjia at AT&T that travelled about 415ft into the LF bleachers.

                          Hitter: Asdrubal Cabrera
                          Pitcher: Carlos Martinez - Cardinals
                          Ballpark and what part of the field: Citi Field - Right-Center into bullpens.
                          Distance (if you remember): 385
                          Any other cool scenario: Hit two ropes with Wright (double to left-center) and Cespedes (double down the line) off the walls. Did not expect to hit one with Cabrera especially against Martinez. Later in that game, HR's by Walker (LH - opposite field) and Duda against their bullpen.

                            Honestly forgot who and when my first AA HR was, so I posted my fiest MLB instead.

                            Hitter: My RTTS RF for NYY
                            Pitcher: David Price
                            Ballpark and what part of the field: Fenway Park, wrapped it around the Pesky Pole
                            Distance (if you remember): 386 ft. No doubter.
                            Any other cool scenario: Was my first MLB at bat. Was a fastball middle outer part of the plate on an 0-1 count.

                              So I am going to do two, since I don't want to count the first one...But will haha.

                              Hitter: Jason Heyward
                              Pitcher: Corey Kluber
                              Ballpark and what part of the field: Wrigley - straight center
                              Distance (if you remember): 427 feet
                              Any other cool scenario: it was the loading game, and it was a straight line drive to show off that ball physics! Nice 3-run shot.

                              Hitter: Mitch Moreland
                              Pitcher: CC Sabathia
                              Ballpark and what part of the field: Fenway Park - over the Green Monster
                              Distance (if you remember): 376 feet
                              Any other cool scenario: My first exhibition game every year since this game has became a thing is Yankees @ Red Sox. This year I won 10-0 backed with this first Homer (3-run shot) and two others, as well as Chris Sale doing work.
