One of the most exciting games of the year that I have seen. This was ER's senior night.

Who was in the Blue...

THUNDERCHILD · 05-17-2006, 12:40 PM

I think that's the nick name given to the umps "blue" because of their blue uniform.

The sophmore (i think) #25 hit a nice 2 run homer over ER's Center field about 380 feet. Very nice shot to him. And was a very exciting game.

Josh Rodebaugh

Basechucked is correct.

allie25 · 05-24-2006, 04:03 PM

Rodebaugh's homerun went about 425ft..it was considered a Minor League Homerun!!:High5:

Cameron Crazy · 05-24-2006, 04:41 PM

Are you sure on that?
Where did your information come from?

QUICK SLIDER · 05-25-2006, 12:57 AM

ER's coaches said the homerun that was hit by the Rodebaugh kid was the longest rip they had seen on that field....... As for it being 425ft, I don't know, maybe 390 or 400ft......They said he RIPPED it out of the ballpark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know Josh and his family(great people and kid) I would say it is true he does have the power to hit the long ball, he has also won a couple of homerun derbys in the past 2 years.

I havent talked to his mom or dad since I moved back to Belfry, If I can confirm this HR I will post it for you all.

Thats what I was thinking, since I watch him hit the homerun.

425 ft. would be a HR in almost every major league park.

Cameron Crazy · 05-25-2006, 03:08 PM

I'm still doubting the length of the homerun, maybe they are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Well the way I look at it is, I believe someone till they prove they can't be believed.
Congrats Rhodie on the 425' RIP!:wieghts:

Josh is a heck of a hitter, but the derbys he won were with a 250' fence, not really a fence it is that, that is how far the ball had to go to be considered a homerun.

Give the guy some credit, Congrats on you homerun no matter how long it really was!!

baseschucked · 05-26-2006, 12:53 PM

I was there and I would estimate the ball went around 380-390 feet at most. He hit it about 15 or 20 feet over the fence, and he hit it to right center. Center field is 370, and Right field is 320.

Cameron Crazy · 05-26-2006, 02:31 PM

I'm not trying to take anything away from the kid, that was one heck of a shot, but stretching it that far, is just ridiculous, is it not?
