I know the juice is steep but for a night this is free money...

Nice catch. It's now -4500.

 

[BronxCheer+]

someones reading the RX from 5 dimes!!

 

[krk1030]

Not sure what they mean exactly, there is an opening that it coudl be hit out of. nobody is hitting it over the upper deck obviously.

 

[D2bets]

Don't bother betting this if you watch it. The few extra pennies you get aren't worth the sweat every time one is cranked.

Just too weird of a prop.

 

[Akillies]

i think they may track the $ wagered as opposed to reading the rx

Someone hit the yes. It's now -1700.

anything close yet>? I have not been watching the TV.

Nah. Some have been maybe 60 feet away or so. That's about as close as we've got. Hamilton is the only one who would scare me.

Sizemore got kinda close...no serious threats yet though.

 

[LLXC13]

Hamilton said he believes a few have the ability to hit one out...may have caused a YES?

 

[trytrytry]

can fans reach up and hold it in the park back there?

 

[djmatt]

I thought Gradys went out.. it didn't obviously but he was straight cranking those

 

[HarryCaray]

A couple of Sizemore's I really thought had a shot, but then fell well short.

Hamilton would have to SMOKE one.

 

[HarryCaray]

You and I can agree on that at least.

My buddy I'm watching it with has Sizemore and was getting pumped.

Mantle almost put it out of the Stadium. It hit the facade in right filed. I watched the game on TV that night. They say the ball was still rising when it hit the facade, and it would have easily gone out of the Stadium. Ball probably would have traveled around 650 feet.

 

[trytrytry]

a possible 650 foot HR?? WOW hard to believe that must be a great memory!

 

[BetIt]

oh shit..............

 

[HarryCaray]

Hamilton just hit one out
