Has anybody ever hit the scoreboard? (Clemente?)
I recall the Glenallen Hill blast, some of Sosa's that went rolling down the street, and some recent Adam Dunn shots to right field. We haven't had a lot of tape-measure guys. Did Dave Kingman ever hit any memorable ones?
Does anybody know the answer to this?

I thought there was a Dave Parker HR off the scoreboard?

Nobody has ever hit the scoreboard with a baseball. Sam Snead hit it with a golf ball teed off from home plate..
This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena.

no one has ever hit the scoreboard, but i understand that clementes technically went to the left of the scoreboard, but higher than. kingman's went down kenmore avenue.
sosa hit the camera box below the scoreboard during the playoffs. that's the furthest i ever saw to center field.

I think that Hill's homer on the rooftop was given a relatively low distance for a homer that seemed to be hit much further.

I'm confused. Isn't that Hill homer a good deal farther than the scoreboard?

I saw Darryl Strawberry crush one to CF, but I think Sosa's might have gone a bit further.
I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.

Kingman supposedly hit the front porch of that house with the black roof on Kenmore. There's a spray paint circle with the date where Sosa's hit in front of that house.
If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
