I don't know the names of the buildings, but whatever building it was behind left field with the spanish style roof, I saw Mouton clear that building one day. I was maybe 12 and we would hang out in the left field bleachers trying to catch foul balls. Mouton launched a rocket and I recall my jaw dropping and just watching it sail over that building. No idea where it landed or if it ever did. To this day, the only ball I've ever seen hit as hard or harder was Jose Canseco putting one on the roof of the upper deck in Detroit.

No offense, but I'm pretty sure you've made this up in your head. There's no individual building with a spanish roof beyond the left field wall, rather a series of married student apartments. Maybe you're referring to the AD building across Nicholson? Did we even have bleachers in LF when Mouton was here?

Just looked, your right. It didn't have the spanish style roof, but whatever building it is that sands behind where the left field fence was is what I'm referring to. It does appear to be the apartments for married students. Definitely had bleachers down the 3rd base line in left field, I don't believe there were any behind the left field fence at that time.
