Hardest hit ball you've seen live? I was about 12 when Gary Sheffield hit a liner at me...450 ft away. You?

That one was certainly up there for me. 
 

Great catch in center there. Heck of an inning, boys.

Good seat to watch a game from.

Insane, but the hardest ball I ever saw live was hit by Mark Salas, a catcher for the Twins in the 80s who had a very era-appropriate nickname of "The Chief." (he was native).  He hit an upper deck homerun, then was traded the next day.

I was about 5.

 

EDIT:  OMG, for 40 years I've believed Mark Salas was of native decent, because that's what my dad told me when I asked why his nickname was "The Chief."  Only now thanks to Google do I learn he was of Mexican decent.  There is no joke here, I'm being serious. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Crap...not a good way to start the inning.

[Aggies7]

Correa already got his revenge for the inside pitches when he homered 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

lol, Max. So nonchalant.

[USAFChief]

I thought Ben got that one.

[big dog]

Great play by Correa. That ball was smoked. 

[David HK]

Haw haw haw...

Just got back from class in time to catch the 7th!  How about Carlos doing the storybook thing and hitting that dinger after getting brushed back TWICE?  Really makes me miss the Hawkster-  <Wallner's rocket:  "Welp.  Tie ball game.">   <Correa's moon shot:  *silence*>

Gotta love it.  Looking forward to seeing those same Sox on my Mpls visit!

Football plays the last two outs. Diving shuttle pass and flea flicker.

Yeah I did too. 

[Aggies7]

Lenyn Sosa? I was more of a Stalin McGwire guy

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Alcala has great stuff but it can be an adventure. Got the job done though.

[USAFChief]

Jax gets the 8th, I presume.

Alcala gave up a couple well hit balls, but no damage.

Winner.

[David HK]

Dr. Alcala trying to perscribe an antidote for those brushbacks, methinks.

[TwinsCD]

1st step on the stairway to heaven complete.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Thought lil Nicky was going to get that.

[Aggies7]

Denard is just flabbergasted that Justin can remember the copyright on air read without notes

Get some insurance runs here...
