What a blast! Who needs those wimpy, enemic, sissy Crawford Boxes. We have Albert Pujols!! He's no Vlady or A Rod. Albert actually hits in the postseason. Even in the clutch!!

WOW!

    I still haven't seen the distance on it yet but that was unbelievable.

    I was thinking the same thing as I watched it - Berkman's HR would have been a fly ball out in any other ballpark, but Pujols shot left no doubt about it.

    That ballpark should be torn down, what a joke. 338 ft??? It demeans the game. In this day and age to build a stadium like that is cartoonish.

    Try 315 feet!!

    That 412 feet measurement is the distance from homeplate to where the ball hit up against the glass. That glass has to be 70 or 80 feet in the air. The ball was just past it's peak when it hit the glass. I bet that ball goes 550 ft if the glass isn't there and it lands in the parking lot.

    What a blast!!!

    And they wonder why Clemen's road record is so much better than home.

    That stadium ruined Jose Lima!!

    From 20 game winner to also-ran journeyman starter.

    You knew it wouldn't take long to see a mastercard joke on this but I thought this one was appropiate for this thread.

    I thought that home run was just a complete BLAST. 412 feet does not seem anything like an accurate measurement. With that said, if the Cardinals don't win two straight it does not mean $HIT! Lets not forget that .......

    Just the sound coming out of the TV speaker left no doubt. Foulball didn't even cross my mind. Nothing but homer!
