Krazy Kat Kollection

Thanks.  I think the most impressive blast I ever saw was David Ortiz in spring training, 2003 or 2004, at City of Palms Park in Ft. Myers.   AFTER it cleared the foul poll, I started counting.  I counted four before it dropped from the sky.  There were a row of cars there, outside the park.  It cleared the row of cars.  Nobody reacted to it at all except me, because there was no context to frame it.  If it had had a 60-foot ball to clear, people would have got it.   But it was just moving against the sky, nothing around it.   I still think about it.
