No was graded as a winner. I missed half of his first round driving home, but not a word was said after that other than that he hit the BofA sign above the right field bleachers.

If he hit one out, there would have been a big production and innumerable replays. Every post Chopliar makes it becomes more clear he has absolutely no common sense.

Not to mention it is impossible to hit one out of Yankee Stadium.

There is an opening you can hit it out of, thats the only way.

Bernie Williams did it in BP once.

According to my 1080P and my 20/20 vision the ball left completly out of the park.

Did not bet on this, so I dont know how it was graded.
But if I did bet on yes, and they graded the play a loss, I would be very pissed because I know what I saw.

I'm guessing it's more like 0/0:nohead:

Hey dumbass, several people in this thread said they thought they saw it go out of the park.

It is not impossible to hit one out. Very hard but not impossible.
If it was impossible 5dimes would not have layed odds unless they are the biggest scam artist since ESB.

I saw the derby, you did not. It clearly looked like he hit it out.

Just did a google and it says he missed it by 7 feet. Far from impossible. And that one was not even hit to the shortest part of the ball park. If he would have pulled the pitch a little bit more that ball would have flown out of Yankee Stadium.

Use some common sense dumbass. One person, HarryCarey, said it looked like it went out, not "several".

You don't think if he hit one out of the stadium it wouldn't have been shown a 1000 times before the end of the contest? Wouldn't be 1,000,000 articles about it online today?

Bernie Williams may or may not have hit one out, never was confirmed, yet ESPN and Chris Berman, the masters of hyperbole, just let ex-heroin addict Josh Hamilton hit one out of the stadium without saying a word. All the while tripping over themselves in their continued tribute to Josh Hamilton. I suppose some logic and common sense is a bit much to ask from "Its only a matter of staying healthy for Jay Bruce to pass Griffey"

damn!! what number did you lay?

-2750 true odds of that were more like -27500 that was a huge overlay but did not have enough funds at 5dimes to really do much with it.. they might have had a $50 max as well not sure.

for it to be a sure bet that was pretty risky yet it took a lot of balls to bet it, I didn't but would of taken yes just in case it happened, just like I'm taking a 10year streak on the AL winning over the NL, just my two cents

about 50 feet figuring trajectory. There has not been a HR hit ever in the HR contest that was within 50 feet of meeting this. Still the kid has some titanic blasts and should be proud.
