Interesting about Shingo. Wonder if we'll get rid of him.

There's no chance of that. We want to be able to sign more Japanese free agents in the future, and if we get rid of Shingo, that won't look too good to them at all. It'll have an impact on Iguchi too.

Talk about the hardest HRs I've seen hit live? That one was MAYBE top five. But yes, it was crushed. I can tell you my top three though, all at the cell, two of them off of Foulke (with the honorable mention going to one off of foulke as well)

 

I don't really remember the years but:

3) McGwire hitting one out of U.S. Cellular, literally, it one hopped the LF concourse and bounced out over the hat shop.

2) Giambi trashing Foulke for a 3-run shot to right.

1) Eric Chavez DESTROYING Foulke to the Right Center concourse.

 

Honorable Mention: Sosa mashing Foulke to tie a Cubs v. Sox game in the Ninth. more than likely cork and steriod aided, but hey so was Giambi's.

 

Just thought I'd go off on a little tangent here, but I agree that ball was destroyed.

 

I was there for Bonds BOMB off of Colon (the game where he Kd him the first 3 times, and Jerry left him in for the 9th), and I know they listed it at like 460 feet, but it was every bit as far as Borchards HR.
