Welcome back to Touch ‘em All Time, our weekly look at the home runs of the Cleveland Indians. In last week’s poll, while I personally voted for Michael Brantley’s home run against Michael Ynoa, the people voted and awarded the honors to Edwin Encarnacion and his dinger against Mike Pelfrey. Congratulations, Edwin! And now for this week’s candidates!
It’s been said ad nauseam on this site and others that Edwin Encarnacion is a notoriously slow starter. His slash line for the past month was a lowly .200/.343/.353. As the calendar turns to May, many are hoping that Edwin can heat up and start driving the ball with authority.
