Top Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony wows with 497-foot slam

Boston Red Sox fans keep hoping top prospect Roman Anthony gets a call to the majors.

What he did for Triple-A Worcester on Saturday night was the latest evidence why.

Anthony, ESPN's No. 1-rated prospect, smashed a 497-foot grand slam for the WooSox in a 10-4 victory over Rochester during an International League in Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 21-year-old put the WooSox ahead 9-4 in the eighth inning when he drove a 91.1 mph sinker from Carlos Romero deep over the right-center field wall, a drive that left his bat at 115.6 mph.
