His power knows no bounds!

[Fritz]

But it knows metes?

575 my ass

Reggie Abercrombie hit one twice as far in Cincinnati

[Swifty]

575 feet?!?!?!?!

That's more than just a footnote. Holy fucking shit fuck.

[Fritz]

Reggie Abercrombie hit one twice as far in Cincinnati

That one put a hole in the ozone layer.

[Omar]

575!!

[wanks1212]

You know, if they're not gonna call him up to MLB, I hope they keep him in AA all year instead of moving him to AAA. Just to see if he really can hit like 75 home runs this season, and if any of them can top 600 feet.

[Bobbob1313]

Seeing as the longest home run in the majors last year was 495, I'm going to guess Stanton's didn't even come close to 575.

Like, I'm sure he crushed it, but that definitely didn't happen.

[Swifty]

Were any of those major leaguers last year named Mike Stanton? No, OK, so then it's pretty silly to say that because it didn't happen last year, by people who aren't him, that he can't do it just because.

Ok.

Only one major leaguer has hit a home run over 500 feet since 2006 (Adam Dunn at 504).

But sure, Mike Stanton probably hit one 575 feet.

For the record,that would be further than the one Gallaraga hit in the upper deck at JRS (460 feet), Ted Williams' Red Seat shot in Fenway (520 feet), Reggie Jackson's ASG HR (532 feet), or the one Mark McGwire hit off the scoreboard at Jacobs' Field (512 feet).

[Swifty]

OK, for the record, Mike Stanton is not Andres Gallaraga, Ted Williams, Reggie Jackson or Mark McGwire, nor is he doing this at the major league level.

[Bobbob1313]

Are you being serious? I can't tell.

[Swifty]

Yes, I am serious he is not any of those people I said he is not.

[Bobbob1313]

ok.
