Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Friday, February 10, 2012
Verlander, Wakefield, Anthony Vasquez and Corey Patterson in the same list? Cowabunga.
Basically, I was sitting around Thursday afternoon, and I got to wondering what the fastest pitch was that got hit for a homer last season. Then I started wondering about other extremes. Slowest? Highest? Lowest? Most grooved? And so on.
I knew where to check, so I set off to research. Maybe it’s a bit too late to be reflecting on the 2011 season, but I haven’t seen any more recent baseball. Have you seen any more recent baseball? The way I figure, we can watch 2011 clips until we have clips from 2012, and we don’t have clips from 2012.
I probably don’t need to write any more introduction. You get the point. Let’s get to the fun stuff. The answer-y stuff.

1. Good cripple hitter Posted: February 10, 2012 at 09:15 PM (#4058517)Anyway, nice job.
The Lewis-Patterson homer is LOLable.
Home run on a pitch where the catcher was standing up!
The pitch to Corey Patterson was at his freaking nose...Jesus.
I read it and thought..."hmm, what does he mean by Extreme Home Runs?" then I read the blurb and saw what he meant by the term.
I just took his intro as self-deprecating.
