Home Run Derby

Yesterday’s Mitchell Report named Glenallen Hill as one of Kirk Radomski’s clients (page 183-5).  

Apparently Hill purchased Human Growth Hormone from Radomski and it is implied that he was taking it prior to their meeting in 2000.

Who’s shocked at this one?

When Hill played with the Cubs, the man’s arms and lats were so thick he simply couldn’t put his arms straight down at his sides.  

Because of this, the Wrigley Bleacherites called him “Frankenstein.” 

And they would mimic the Frankenstein arm motion after every Home Run hit by Hill.

But here’s the real evidence.  It’s believed that only one player has ever hit a ball on the roof of a building across the street from Wrigley Field.

That player … is Glenallen Hill.  Cue the video.

Yes, folks, Chip Caray was that annoying long before you ever heard him call playoff games on TBS.

Hit Tracker estimated that the blast would have travelled 500 feet if the building wasn’t there.
