VIDEO: Mike Napoli hits scoreboard with moonshot HR
In Friday night's game against the New York Yankees Mike Napoli crushed a home run to deep left field that still has some in disbelief.
In the third inning of Friday's game Cleveland Indians first baseman Mike Napoli pulverized a pitch from Yankees pitcher Chad Green sending it deep to left field where it nearly hit John Adams,the superfan who bangs the drum during Indians home games and sits in the top row of the bleachers. The ball then bounced and hit the scoreboard putting his home run ball in truly rarified air.
Napoli's home run was such a majestic shot that it set Twitter ablaze with fan reactions.
Even Trevor Bauer couldn't believe what he just saw.
