I can't believe Brandon Larson isn't in this discussion. That kid defined Gorilla Ball.

Brett Boone hit some bombs in the regional, I think the longest LSU ball I saw was Lyle Mouton hit those apartments. It went over the lights 30'

Yea, Mouton and Joey hit some real shots to left. I didn't see Hawpe's but I did see Will Clark put one over Nicholson around 86

No. I think that was Justin Gabriel. I think it was more than simple possession too.

yeah, i knew that and sorry if anyone misunderstood what i was saying.

I can just remember the day after he(the one who was arrested for simple possession) pitched he was guarding the bullpen on one knee and some guy screamed out "I hear you like that grass". That is the only reason i asked.

Negative. Andy was a good kid. Solid pitcher too. Lefty with a nasty breaking ball. He actually shut us out twice his sr year. He's the pitcher that had the run in with Wally.

Joey Belle hit the longest HR I ever saw IRL @ The Box


Incorrect. It was Boone that hit THE bomb in the regional around 1990

2000 Super Regional in the Box, UCLA catcher Forrest Johnson hit the dorms over left field. Saw it from the top of the bleachers. Farthest I've ever seen in attendance at the Box

1. Brad Wilkerson- That ball was absolutely pissed on.

2. Mark Wright (Ole Miss)- 2007 or 2008 he murdered a ball of the right field wall almost cleared the apt building

3. UCLA Batting Practice- Guys were launching balls left and right it was a sight to be seen
