Social Media was ablaze Thursday night when Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez blasted a mammoth shot into the right-field seats against Nathan Eovaldi. This time the chatter wasn’t focused on the outrage of yet another Boston Red Sox starter digging their team into an early hole. It was the stunning report of how far the ball traveled that caught everyone’s attention.
According to Statcast, the home run by Tellez was estimated at 505 feet. That would make it the longest home run in the history of Fenway Park, surpassing the ball that Ted Williams once hit to the infamous red seat.
