Wow, I actually saw that shot on TV - he hit it through one of those tunnels in the upper deck and the announcers were speculating about whether it bounced out of the stadium and fell 5 storeys into the parking lot. I also saw him hit one over the right field roof and out of the park at old Forbes field in Pittsburgh. You didn't have to hit it that far, but you sure had to hit it high...
