Most Extreme Home Runs

Jeff Sullivan at SB Nation give us a list of 'Most Extreme Home Runs'. The 'highest pitch' hit for a homer? Corey Patterson hit a Colby Lewis pitch that was 54.5 inches off the ground. Basically head level. "And that reward set back Corey Patterson's plate discipline by ten years." Go check out the video.

Love the acerbic commentary

Throwing an eephus seems so neat and edgy until you throw one and it gets hit like an eephus ought to get hit

My favourite:

When I navigated to the footage of an Astros/Pirates game, I was prompted with a dialog box asking "Are you sure?

Mean spirited joke is funny, and hilarious.
