April 20, 20169 yr Does anybody have a link, etc. to a video of Joe Borchard's record 500 ft. HR at the Cell? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!
April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (ron883 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 10:45 PM) That guy had some lighttower power and a big hole in his swing.
April 20, 20169 yr His parents' license plate was "HR 4 JOE" There may have been a number at the end, IIRC.
April 20, 20169 yr I was there that afternoon, sitting down the right field line, about half way between first base and the foul pole. I remember watching the ball sail by, standing there with my mouth open. What a blast!!
April 20, 20169 yr While looking to see if I could dig anything up, I came across this 2007 SoxTalk thread with the same complaints! http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=61236 I know I've seen it before, and I didn't see it live, but I have no idea when/where I saw it.
April 20, 20169 yr Kind of crazy that it happened in this century and there's no easily available video of it.
April 20, 20169 yr So glad I didn't follow prospects closely back then. Not sure I could have handled having two prospects like Rauch and Borchard bomb so badly.

April 20, 20169 yr That HR and a line drive he hit off the wall when he first was called up in T. O. were the hardest balls I've ever seen hit in my life.
