WilliamTell Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I am glad they put his homer in it though. Obviously they had to though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue129 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 his homer is only #2 on the top 10... except they've shown it 3-4 times now i didn't realize NOBODY was at the Cell today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyb Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 So ESPN was leading up to Joe's bomb with the longest HRs of the year and then cut quick to Joe's and barely get it in... What about Adam Dunn's interstate bomb a few weeks ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue129 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 What about Adam Dunn's interstate bomb a few weeks ago? I turned it on as they showed the one before Dunn, Dunn's and Bond's from Sunday night @ Turner... then they cut to today and the ball is already coming off of Joe's bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighHeat45 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 From a whitesox.com article A 12-year-old fan from Chicago emerged with the baseball, dropping his 'Icee' to catch the carom off the back wall. After the game, the young fan traded the 504-foot home run ball for a Borchard autographed baseball. That dude got ripped so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 that's nice of the 12 year old kid, I'd do it to probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 From a whitesox.com article That dude got ripped so bad That kid is not so intelligent. Home run balls are rare and 504 foot home run balls just don't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighHeat45 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 That kid is not so intelligent. Home run balls are rare and 504 home run balls just don't happen.

HighHeat45 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I agree, it's not like they don't have jerseys laying all over the place. Well his Joe Borchard autograph might just be worth a whole 5 cents some day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue129 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I would have asked for a customized authentic team jersey signed by all the players plus some autographed baseballs Or season tickets for next year in the "Scout Seats", if the team wouldn't do it, I'm sure Borchard could afford it with his contract/signing bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Ok. Borchard hit a 500+ foot bomb. Great. It was still just a 2 run homer. That in itself is no big deal. I'm just glad to hear he's been hitting the ball hard with more regularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSF Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 A 500 ft shot? Damn, no need for "stretch". Hawk could've just said "FORE!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
