Yes, I'm aware that Lofton was the lead off hitter and that the ball came off the Green Monster. Why would it be next to impossible? They've been getting inside for years at every ballpark in America, including Fenway. If Lofton has to run between 180' to 200', this slug should have been able to make at the maximum, 50'.
