The barrel of the bat landed all the way at third base, yet the ball carried all the way to the seats above the outfield wall in left-center field, which happens to be 44 feet high. An impressive display of strength.
According to the AP, Napoli had this to say after the game:
"It was a weird feeling," Napoli said. "I think the bat might have broken the last time I was up because it just exploded in my hands."The homer started a six-run rally for the Red Sox as they went on to blow out the Twins 14-2.
