    man, now you can really appreciate how far manny ramirez hit that home run on April 19 which reached the massachusetts turnpike.

    Yes, that Ramirez home run was huge. I could be wrong, but I think there is some question whether it really reached the turnpike though. It certainly hit the parking lot and bounced beyond it…but perhaps just onto the tracks between the garage and the turnpike. (see for example: http://www.patriotledger.com/articles/2005/04/21/sports/sports01.txt) No matter what though, it was quite a feat.

    Also, I was impressed with how visible the famous Citgo sign is in the aerial shot. (It’s roughly on line from home plate, through the short stop position, across the turnpike and beyond the first set of tall buildings. It’s a white sign with a red triangle). http://www.citgo.com/AboutCITGO/BostonSign.jsp
