    Stanton hits one into the second deck tonight…..440-feet at 119.9 mph.
    That is leaving the yard in a hurry.

    The term "piss rocket" was coined for shots like that.

    Imagine sitting in the stands…..enjoying your $11 hot dog and $17 beer, and something comes flying off the bat at roughly the speed of light right at you.

    Yeah, well ... Santander hit one 441 feet, and it left the yard in a little more hurry.

    At what point does catcher interference get called?

    Yeah, I've thought that's pretty much an automatic if the catcher makes contact with the swing.

    Sean Burroughs passed away yesterday of a heart attack. Burroughs was the star of the LL WS back to back champs in the early 90s. Was a 1st round pick of the Padres.

    He was at the LL park in Long Beach where he starred (his boys play there). Went out to get something from his car, and had a heart attack and died. He was maybe early to mid 40s.

    Holy crap. I covered those Long Beach teams when they came through San Bernardino for the regionals (last stop before Williamsport). Brought in massive crowds for all of their games, including the two championship games in 1992 and 1993. They were rock stars in 1993 and the title game, people were securing seats and setting up chairs at 8 a.m. for a 7 p.m. game. And after their first game in 1993, I got the inside information that Taiwan was going to be banned from the LLWS before Williamsport announced it and I had a quote from their manager, Larry Lewis, for the paper the next day before everyone else had it.

    Burroughs obviously was the star of those teams, for his pitching and his hitting. Everyone stood up every time he came up to bat and he almost always delivered and sent moon shots out of the stadium with regularity.
