my favorite part of the video is while trout is rounding the bases escobar(ss) and moustakas(3b) are looking at the jumbotron. when the opponents are getting a 2nd look at your shot, then you know you just did something really impressive.

Damn. Ball was crushed. I'm guessing that is the farthest ball hit this year outside of stanton's bombs.

that's awesome.

[maximus p]

Read somewhere it was the furthest hit ball since 2006, when ESPN started tracking.

[Broad Street]

I'm making a bronze statue of him, and putting it in my front yard.

BO JACKSON TERRITORY, SON.

@JeffFletcherOCR: The 2 longest HRs of Mike Trout's career have both been hit in KC, both against former teammates. Jason Vargas (489). Ervin Santana (463)

Even the announcer forgot to yell out his trademark "big fly" , for that shot

Now I'm inspired to repaint my lawn jockey.

(This should be in the curry thread, imo)

[disarcina]

498 feet !! Wow -- that's Mickey Mantle territory ---

[Taylor]

tdawg was sporting a 489-footer after that home run.

Also, in before Mike Trout steroid rumors.

[seenoevil]

I wonder how the home run tracker estimate the distances of these home runs.. Trout home run vs Santana and this home run don't seem to far off distance wise from each other, maybe this one is more a line drive shot. LOL @ the Royals saying 445 ft,

Wow. I had no idea Trout's average distance was third in the league since 2011. That is crazy impressive considering how short his swing is.
