God lord could that man crush a fast ball. Damn you curveball.Has his homer in KC landed yet?
This was the first thing I thought of. I was scared that rocket was going to take someone's head off on the monster.I will never forget the zero-arc line drive blast he hit into the monster seats. Sick.
I was so disappointed to find out he pronounced his name like Willy instead of Wile E.I will never forget him playing LF at the Bash one year, where a soft line drive right to him caused his body to spin and contort like Wile E. Coyote in that moment when he looks down and realizes he's going to fall off the cliff.
I was on the monster when he was taking BP with the Reds in '05. (The night they "dedicated" the Fisk pole). He hit a rising blast that was headed under the billboard in left-center and hit a woman standing in the last row in the arm. It was loud. Good thing it got flesh, not bone. She was down for quite a while.This was the first thing I thought of. I was scared that rocket was going to take someone's head off on the monster.
I hope he makes the home run derby.I hope he makes the team.
