Michael Kay is right. In Joe D’s day, 457 feet would have been five feet short in left centerfield. Death Valley was real back then. DiMaggio lost a ton of homers to WWII and his home park dimensions.

That’s what you want from your starter after getting them three runs. 1-2-3 inning!  |

If not for WWII and playing in Yankee Stadium rather than Fenway, I believe Teddy Ballgame breaks Ruth’s 714, well before Henry Aaron. |

It's possible with that classic left handed pull swing playing half it's games with the short porch. |

Cole slicing and dicing the last two innings. Great pitchers have another gear when they can see the finish line. It used to be the ninth, now it’s the seventh.

Came back to the game... Surprised Cole's still in there... not used to a SP pitching into the 7th for the Yankees.

He was the real John Wayne. |
