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.
