30 Year MLB Draft : CHAT

[UK Cowboy]

Hitting a softball 450 is ridiculous

Man, true story, the company I used to work for had a huge company softball tournament every year in Austin, every market center from Dallas to Shreveport to Houston brought teams. Our East Texas team finally wins, and the next year when we get there, Dallas has this guy they hired as a temporary warehouse guy, who is 6'5", 260, played in the Indians organization. This idiot is hitting balls out of 300' field that are clearing the light pole on the fly and landing in the middle of the OF of the next field over. The dumb ass Houston pitcher rolls a couple to the plate as a joke, the hitter gets pissed and they start jawing. The pitcher then makes the mistake of throwing one over the plate, which the guy hits off his shin, fracturing his shin bone. I got to see a game and a great brawl to boot

Polo Grounds dimensions

LF 280
CF 475
RF 258

Sounds like a great men's softball field. Wonder if all my left handed power hitters can go 258.....

Used to dabble in one of the "MLB the Show" video games years back and you could unlock this field. Hit it to the gap headed out to CF(Pretty sure the BP was literally out there somewhere) and it was a inside the parker like every time. Ridiculous

No, do as many as you want after you make your last pick. Please post your pick on the pick thread and also post the drops and adds : player - position - year.

Thank you...

Just to be clear, I want Ron Santos and not Ron Santo... Santos is a lesser known player who was a 10x MVP with who played every position on the field and was GG at every spot... He was also a better closer than Mo so he'll get some run there as well...

Got it, I've also added Shoewearing Joe Jacksons and Ken Griffeys a couple of career minor leaguers to your club, sorry for the confusion.
