FOR PLAYOFF DATA, set the "Season" selector at the right side to "2009P"! ... Another walkoff in the Bronx, this time for a homer by Mark Teixeira. Tex's homer left the bat at 110 mph, and left the park faster than any of the other 5,000+ home runs in 2009, after only 2.88 seconds! Quite a shot! ... Congratulations to Chad Huffman, who won the 2009 AAA All Star Game Home Run Derby on July 13, 2009 at PGE Park in Portland, OR. Check out the details at the AAA HRD Page ..

"Glenallen Hill, Wrigley Field, May 11, 2000"
On May 11, 2000, Glenallen Hill hit a home run out of Wrigley Field, across Waveland Ave. and onto the roof of a building across the street. Estimated at the time at over 500 feet, Hit Tracker has been used to determine "how far it really went." Using video from the home run and atmospheric data from Weather Underground (66 degrees, 18mph out to left field), the trajectory has been reconstructed. Hill's bomb left the bat at 116.7mph at an angle of 41.1 degrees above vertical (an excellent angle for a ball struck with a strong following wind), and if unobstructed, would have flown an amazing 500 feet even!
