soxfan85 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Does anybody have a link, etc. to a video of Joe Borchard's record 500 ft. HR at the Cell? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 QUOTE (ron883 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 10:45 PM) That guy had some lighttower power and a big hole in his swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 His parents' license plate was "HR 4 JOE" There may have been a number at the end, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I was there that afternoon, sitting down the right field line, about half way between first base and the foul pole. I remember watching the ball sail by, standing there with my mouth open. What a blast!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord chas Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Didn't the ball completely clear the seats and land on the concourse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconOnAStick Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I've never seen the video either and I've looked pretty hard for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 While looking to see if I could dig anything up, I came across this 2007 SoxTalk thread with the same complaints! http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=61236 I know I've seen it before, and I didn't see it live, but I have no idea when/where I saw it.

Jose Abreu Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Kind of crazy that it happened in this century and there's no easily available video of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 So glad I didn't follow prospects closely back then. Not sure I could have handled having two prospects like Rauch and Borchard bomb so badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 That HR and a line drive he hit off the wall when he first was called up in T. O. were the hardest balls I've ever seen hit in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
