re: Longest HR in Alex Box (old and new) history?

Herbert Perry. Florida. 1991 SEC Tournament at the old Box. Rain had played havoc with the tournament and the games were all shortened to 7 innings. Bertman didn't give a shite about winning and he had David "Duck" Herry pitching. Herry was probably the last pitcher on the depth chart. Anyways, Perry hit one into the lights behind the left field fence and I swear it was still rising when it got there.

ETA...Herry wasn't as bad as I thought. 4-2 record in 91, ERA about 3.50

Brad Hawpe crushed one I think in a regional that supposedly either hit Nicholson or the TS lot

That was done regularly

Hawpe.
Autocorrect

Mouton hit the apartments… maybe broke a window. Walker and Furniss both sent one over the right field lights. Those are the biggest I personally witnessed. The ones over the lights looked like they went into orbit because they disappeared into the night sky.

I think a dude from Ole Miss jacked one too. Will Clark was also notable.

I once short hopped the 4oclock train
















@2:15

Laporte and Brad Wilkerson hit shots they are still looking for

Didn't furniss hit one to the intersection at Nicholson?

Well, I think I stand corrected. I don't think theball LaPorta hit was at the box, think it was in Hoover. Looking at box scores. He never hit one at the box. Does Hoover have a rooftop in LF? I know I'm not dreaming
