The longest home run in Coors Field history has an asterisk

One in an occasional season-long series on the 25th year of Major League Baseball in Denver.

This is a ballpark that once forced the commissioner of baseball to hire an astrophysicist, a place that has been described as a moonscape and a launching pad, the stadium that hosted baseball’s longest home run of the so-called Statcast Era.

It is a baseball field with an intimate and intense understanding of the cheerleading long ball, unlike any other place in the major leagues.
