The Official "THAT WAS A TATER" thread

[markakis8]

Post videos of just absolute bombs. Only home runs that clear the fence by a mile and make your jaw hit the floor. The ones where the pitcher and outfielder don't even bother to turn around. I can watch them all day.

I'll start. Here is one Bautista hit off of Haren a few days ago:

The walk off Granny off the animated sculpture

The hardest hit baseball ever (recorded off Jamie Moyer of all people) that broke the scoreboard

The one into the Budweiser Bar

The 440 foot bomb into the batters eye.

The one over the green monster in about 1.5 seconds

They're all here:

Go to the 1:30 mark, he hits a couple OUT OF MILWAUKEE STADIUM in BP.

I've looked on youtube

Of pujols' shot
Off of brad lidge

I remember a HR from awhile back that I've always wanted to see again. Richie Sexson as a D-Back crushing one to center and hits his own picture on the screen. Maybe busting something on the screen as well.

Didn't Galarraga annihiliate a Kevin Brown pitch once in Florida?

Actually, found both of them here on this cool page, but I can't find any video because of MLB being mean:

I really hope it's Bautista vs Stanton in the finals of the HR Derby. Eerily, Bautista had a very similar home run at Fenway. Those BP bombs in Milwaukee were jaw-dropping. Lots of splashing coming up on Monday!

This one was massive:

The fact that this was off of Carpenter sweetens the deal. Dang this was mammoth.

The Longest HR's of 2011

Man if someone can find the home run Glenallen Hill hit at Wrigley Field that went across the street and onto the roof of the building....that was one of the longer ones I ever witnessed.

 

[1st4040]

can't find a vid but Cecil Fielder hit a bomb over the roof of the old Tigers stadium back in the day that was pretty impressive too.

One of the longest bombs hit here in a while!

Pretty sure it was 2007, Willy Mo Pena at Kauffman Stadium when he was on the Red Sox. A bomb to left, wish I could find it.

Still can't find video of it, but the 2nd paragraph has a little blurb about it.

Pretty sure it was off Luke Hudson, and he said it should have counted for 2 runs!
