Whenever I visit Baltimore and go to Camden Yards, I always look for the plaque where KG Jr hit the warehouse (only player to do so and the only time it ever happened) and I'm always amazed to see how far he hit that ball. Just unbelievable.
I know this is unconfirmed, but in 1996 during batting practice, I saw Jim Thome of the Indians hit the warehouse.
I was there and outside when it happened ! Ball hit a hotdog vender and it was chaos ! At 12 years old I had no idea that history was made .
dude, I've lived here all 41 years of my life and I still take a picture with that plaque every time I go!
Must be harder then it looks!
Just saw it today. Truly spectacular!
I love Griffey's cheeky grin when the PA announces that he hit the warehouse. Like even he had to stop for a moment and be like, "Okay, maybe I did kind of crush that one."
As a kid who grew up in the 90s he was by far my favorite player. Class act and a great player
Sweetest swing in major league history absolute bomb that hit the warehouse
In batting practice.
@@mynameisgladiator1933It was a home run derby
Created to hit a baseball..could put a plate on his head..sexiest swing ever..just god given natural sweetness..end of story
Little did he know that at the time that 31 years later no one else has managed to hit the warehouse.
I know Ken Griffey JR will never see this but I was thank you for inspiring me and making my childhood dream as a baseball player a dream to remember.. it took me 2 years to prefect your swing, stance etc and I gotta say I am 5'10 185lbs and with that swing I could do anything to that ball . My farthest HR was 435 feet.. in my eyes your the best player and most humble. Thank you for all the amazing memories threwout my LIFE
Love everything about this.. the swing..the crowd reaction and the smile . Awesome!!
The fakeness of calling it a legit HR.
@@mynameisgladiator1933 you just had to be that guy...
@@polotrey You are the guy who loved his participation trophy.
@@mynameisgladiator1933 why so serious??
Sweetest swing ever
My favorite player growing up. I had five of his upper deck rookie cards!
The sweetest swing in the game!
Every time I go to an Orioles game, I take a pic of the plaque on that spot #theKID
Why do they have a plaque for a batting practice HR?
with MLB backing out of hosting the ASG in Atlanta it would be awesome to see it return to Camden Yards again.
KG Jr will forever have my respect, from an Orioles fan. ANYONE who hits it to Eutaw -('cept for Yankees)- has my respect.
Would have been the HR king if he had stayed healthy.
Easy!!!
You could say that about anyone that was a great power hitter like willie Mays, Mickey mantle, etc......
Facts
He is the HR king to us in Seattle
@@kalebcline9770 I was a SF Giants fan but I loved the 90s Mariners team. Tino and Edgar Martinez, Buhner, and of course Ken Griffey Jr!!
I just went to Camden Yards for the first time and saw the plaque on the warehouse! Incredible power to hit that far!
The Mona Lisa, The Louvre, The Grand Canyon, and Jr.'s Swing. Amazing
Pure swing
Born in 85 best player I've seen damn injuries....I dont know of anyone w a prettier homerun swing
At 0:13. "IT HIT THE WAREHOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I'm a orioles fan so when I go to Camden Yards I look at the spot were he hit the warehouse
What exactly is that warehouse for?
Jon948 The Orioles use it
for probably management stuff. I know the Orioles own it, I just forgot what they used it for
CAMDEN YARDS.
Legendary
Camden Yards opens in ‘92, Griffey hits the warehouse the very next year and no one has done it since in 31 YEARS
There Will NEVER be a sweeter stroke In baseball
Must've been all that Brain & Nerve Tonic Mr. Burns was giving him!
Love. This. Comment
Good Lord!
GIGANTISM!
all natural too never took any steroids like bonds or arod
Haha never got busted. Between his size changing and his constant injuries theres a huge likelyhood he did. And even if he did who cares. Steroids don't make you hit. They don't make you hit him Homer's. They just take a guy who's already great and and a little bit of distance. Steroids saved baseball. Look how much baseball has fallen since the steroid era. You can say what you want but steroids made baseball more exciting. I mean the chase for the home run record? They are grown ass men let them take some fucking testosterone haha save baseball again cuz it's getting boring as fuck
green anaconda, suriname boa, Colombian boa size changing? He got fatter not more ripped like Bonds did. Also if steroids don’t help you hit then why take them?
boa increased bat speed means more time to judge pitches. Also 10% more strength can turn a warning track fly to 5 rows back. If steroids didn't help what wasnt Barry bonds hitting 60 and 70 homeruns in his prime? Great hitter before steroids, 1st ballot HOF but after steroids he turned into the greatest ever.
He was clean will never be a asterisk next to Kens name
Bonds already had 3 mvps before steroids and 8 gold gloves with 450 plus home runs and 500 stolen bases, bonds was the goat.
Incredible how he’s still the only player to ever do it.
Lol its like hes just taking practice swings its so effortless
where's the video?
GOAT
There's a plaque on the ground on Eutaw St. where that landed.
Was on eutaw st with my Pop Pop…was 10 yrs old….awesome memory
That's Tom Selleck lurking in the background.
Hits a bomb that no one as ever hit in this stadium to right field... looks like he's just taking a jog at the park haha.
Happy 25th anniversary
Even dude in the warehouse window looked to see where it hit.
What was the distance?
It kind of baffles me that the warehouse hasn't been hit several times throughout the years. It only 460 ft from home plate and in the past 27 years he's the only one who hit. It surprises me that Bonds, Giambi, Thome or other power hitters haven't hit it. Is there like a wind tunnel effect that stops homerun a from reaching it?
It's not like Bonds got many chances to hit in Camden. If he played in Baltimore he'd probably have twice as many warehouse hits as he did McCovey Cove splash hits
Since nobody has bothered to answer your question, yes. The way the stadium is designed creates a nasty crosswind right in front of the warehouse that just knocks balls down. The original intention was for balls to hit the warehouse and maybe break some windows. I guess falling glass was supposed to bring people to the ballpark. Instead, they accidentally built the whole thing to basically guarantee it wouldn't happen lol.
There’s a video on UA-cam about it. So it’s only 460 from the plate; but the sidewalk for the warehouse is about 35 feet above the field level. So not only do you have to crush it, but you have to hit it really high as well
It's farther than that. Henderson just hit a 462 foot bomb and it one bounced the wall.
Insane
Insane that people think a bp HR counts.
I was there and the ball did not hit the warehouse. It hit the floor at the base and bounced up and hit it and ricocheted off to me. I had my foot on it before being tackled by a crowd and the ball shot out. Another person I later found out was there also stated the exact same thing. People wanted to believe it so bad. All Star game. Camden Yards. But it did not hit the warehouse. Sorry to disappoint.
In mlb derby I can hit balls 300ft over the ware house😂🤣
Wow what a stud
HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY HIT THAT DAMN WAREHOUSE IN A GAME OR IS GRIFFEY HITTING IT IN THE DERBY STILL THE ONLY PLAYER
Griffey is still the only player to have ever hit the Warehouse. Crush Davis hit one pretty far in a game I was at, but never close to The Kid.
Hitting it in batting practice like Griffey did does not count. (they use batting practice pitching in the derby). It's not real. But Because he's bl*ck, they've got to make it real.
@@mynameisgladiator1933idiot griffey is in anyones top 5 abseball players ever widely reguarded as having the best swing hes wasnt a bum like you diminish him to be
@@mynameisgladiator1933also griffey has hit 500ft bombs in game
@@carljohnson9726 Let me guess, your IQ is about 65. No one cares about batting practice home runs.
Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball on the super Nintendo
How on a half swing?
How far was it?
The crack off of his bat...
*griffey without injuries tho*
Here because of Five Points Vids
When You have natural born skills. I René from Calexico ca, hit a homerunat 8 years old at a little league level playing....better than the 12 years old.....I was going to be an all - Star but. Playing. With older kids. The mount was farther than little league si by the time I was 12. The mount⚾. Look si close to me that it ruin 2years off little league. I just couldn't see the ball. It felt like the pitcher was to close. And ended up in gangs... ...😔
el junior the kid
Now hit it during a real game
I wonder if Kal-el misses Jor-el?
Ohtani will be the second, you heard it here first
No he won't. Stop it lol
I just read it wasn't a regulation ball. Juiced balls for the derby?
God that man was unbelievable. 🤌🏼
GOAT
Sweetest swing ever
