Goodness, that ball must have went at least 470 feet.
It's hard to predict how much because the ball just went over everything. I guess anywhere between 460-490 feet. I've really never seen that in my life before. Ortiz hit one out to the concourse in right field, but I think in right center it's closer, in left center you have to get it over the bullpen too

Right center is definitely closer, I remember the blast by Big Papi too. Left-Center is still like 407 feet out that way, that ball went like 70 feet past the wall lol
That ball looked like it traveled well beyond the center field wall as well.

Hopefully his averages comes up a bit. He's hitting .307 which is good overall but Cabrera is more of a .330-.340 hitter lol
Speaking of plants and palms, there was a massive dawn redwood where I was working yesterday. I went to have a late morning cup of tea underneath it, as it's shed all it's needles and is amazing to look up at the massive bare trunk and limbs. There are hundreds of small nikau palm seedlings under it, which the owners knew nothing about. There are no nearby palms, so it's a bit of a mystery where the seeds come from. I shall investigate further today after I finish work - will be taking my Sherlock Holmes style deerstalker cap, a notebook and pencil, and a Sherlock Holmes style pipe.
Did you take any of the seedlings? I have a small Rhopalostylis baueri var. cheesemanii which is growing well, I had one in my UK garden too (died in 2010 winter) & found it grew much faster than Rhopalostylis sapida...
Ridiculous, although the sun does feel pretty strong in summer in Jersey, and I'm sure St Helier is warmer than what they say too.
Still, it's not exactly Phoenix is it!
