Now That's One Hell Of A Home Run



Today, the Milwaukee Brewers played the New York Mets in New York and Prince Fielder hit a home in the third inning that was to say, quite powerful. From the NY Times: By the third, Capuano had started to struggle with his command, issuing two-out walks to Jerry Hairston Jr. and Braun in consecutive at-bats. Up next was trouble, in the form of Fielder.
Fielder hit his 28th home run of the season, a three-run shot, that put the Brewers ahead, 5-1. He hit the ball so hard that the sound of it smacking off an empty seat in the second deck in right field was audible throughout the ballpark.

jsonline says this about the home run: This one had all of the makings of a walk in Central Park when the Brewers took a 7-1 lead against former teammate Chris Capuano after six innings. Fielder provided a major jolt with a three-run homer in the third, a laser beam that crashed into the second deck and was hit so hard down the right-field line it didn't have time to hook foul.
"There's not many guys who can do that," said manager Ron Roenicke. "He hit it so hard it didn't have time to break."

The home run wasn't quite powerful as this but, it is close:



The Brewers are now up 8 1/2 games as they are on their way to win their first legitimate divisional title ever.
