"'It Knocks Out A Bank Of Lights Up There Like The Natural!'" Florida announcer on Ryan Zimmerman's Monster 3-Run HR...

From last night's post game report:

"In the third, Alberto Gonzalez singles and Roger Bernadina reaches on a bunt single that he beats to first by a mile. Two on, one out for Ryan Zimmerma---THE KIDS CALL HIM ZIM!! THE KIDS CALL HIM ZIM!!! Marlins' right-hander Alex Sanabia gives up an absolute blast to left that hits the facade in front of the upper deck and actually breaks the M in (what is now) the "Sun Life Stadiu_" sign in left field..."

HERE'S THE HIGHLIGHT.

Think he got all of that?

I'm disappointed in Zim.

He only got PART of the “M.” Next time get all of it.

Back when Sosa and McGwire were chasing the HR record,

I saw MM hit #‘s 58 and 59 at that stadium one night. Both were rockets, and one of them landed in the first or second row above where Zim’s shot hit. Of course, Zim isn’t juicing. Not that MM was — I would NEVER accuse him of that.
