I was there! Upper deck, right behind home plate. From that angle, I couldn’t judge the ball’s trajectory. So I saw Andruw jogging toward the gap, and I think he’s got it lined up. And then I think maybe it’ll get past him. And then I think it might be a homerun. And then… wait, is it still going? Did it just hit that tower back there? Mike had probably rounded 2nd before I was sure what had really happened. The roar that had started as soon as he made contact didn’t end for several minutes, so I still got in on the fun.
