The top five for the season remains unchanged. A pair of names were added to the top of THE LIST remains unchanged. But long homers still ruled the week that was across Major League Baseball.
1. Adrian Gonzalez vs Neal Cotts, 453 feet (May 5th)
OFF THE DAMN CENTER FIELD SCOREBOARD AT MILLER PARK.
2. Joc Pederson vs Evan Marshall, 450 feet (May 2nd)
You know what makes me happier than a monstrous Joc Pederson home run? Vin Scully calling a monstrous Joc Pederson home run.
3. Jedd Gyorko vs Brooks Brown, 444 feet (May 3rd)
Since we’ve been doing this feature, I can’t recall someone hitting a ball onto the concourse in center field at Petco. Take a bow, Jedd.
4. Mike Trout vs Roenis Elias, 443 feet (May 6th)
Dead center onto the batter’s eye. Mike Trout, kind of good at hitting baseballs.
5. Nelson Cruz vs Luke Gregerson, 442 feet (May 1st)
NELSON CRUZ HIT THE DAMN TRAIN AND I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER
