We were right behind the plate, and as soon as Sutton let go of the ball, you could hear Bob Boone yell, "$h!t" before Inky even hit it. Incaviglia was crazy strong.
I was at a Phillies game at Veterans Stadium in 1993 with my girlfriend du jour and we didn't have tickets and we ran into a guy out front who offered us two tickets in the mayor's box (face value: $13).

Inky hit one so hard into the upper deck in left field I couldn't believe how fast the ball got there. Wow, could he hit em.
