    Happy New Year! There's a lot more to explore here. For example, the coefficient of restitution! If you work for the MLB and would consider letting me in on some baseball science I'd be game. P.S. Besides the obvious answer of Cal Ripken Jr., who was your favorite baseball player as a kid?

  • @edzanjero353

    In '61 or '62, Frank Howard was reputed to have hit a 602 ft home run in County Stadium, Milwaukee. Vin Scully recounted his call of the "Shot heard round the world" a few times...I was lucky enough to have heard it...a mesmerizing story. The homer was later revised down to around 560'. Howard never swung hard at a pitch, but this knuckleball so badly fooled him, he literally swung with his left arm only, having let go of the bat with his right arm. Bless the memory of Frank Howard, my boyhood Dodgers hero.
