Detroit Tigers: The Joys of Baseball in Spring Training

Take for example, the home runs hit by Justin Upton. After a rather slow start, Upton actually hit not one, but two home runs today. The first literally left the actual park, going over the left field Tiki Bar at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Florida. Dan Dickerson said it was “the longest home run we have seen in this ballpark.”

Then, just to cement the fact that he has power in his bat, Upton hit a second dinger for the day. This one went into the outfield and bounced over the fence to leave the park, too.
