At least it juts out immediately after that instead of having an entire short porch in right field. Makes the Pesky homeruns quirky instead of just cheap.
Not sure what's crazier, Alan Trejo being back to back in this video for 2 teams, or the Diamondbacks and Padres being back to back hitting it in basically the same exact spot
Yeah and one in the trop I think 🤔 A.L. East ballparks have weak distance at their corners. Thank goodness Camden yards pushed back their fence and rose it up as well.
I'm honestly surprised there wasn't at least a few more Tropicana ones, they got their own little Pesky Pole area in left field, but I guess it is still a little further back at 315ft vs Pesky at 302
Not sure if I’ve ever seen one like Ian Happ’s at the 1:13 mark. It hit the very bottom of the foul pole where it’s not even painted yellow, just a grey patch.
Alan Trejo hitting the shortest home runs for two different teams and also having those home runs be back-to-back in terms of distance is the kind of crazy statistical anomaly only baseball can provide
@@SirTylerGolf and Yankee stadium has one of the deeper left/left center dimensions in the league. Like any ballpark there’s quirks and advantages or disadvantages unique to the stadium
That Luis Robert home run at #4, I was at that game last season...horrible weather all afternoon...it wasn't raining but it was just misty all throughout the game...
I'd love it if the HR leader for one season was a Red Sox player who specialized in getting hits towards the Peskey Pole. Who's the HR leader this year? Some jacked dude like Aaron Judge who's hitting 430 ft bombs? Nope, just some good contact hitter who's really good at squibbing 300 ft dinkers towards the short porch. 😂
Not at all surprising to see so many of these in Yankee Stadium and Fenway. In the 1980s, I went to dozens of games at Fenway, but the only homer I saw down by Pesky Pole was by the right-handed batting Dan Gladden. He took a Roger Clemens fastball the other way and just made it.
As a diamondbacks fan, it’s really upsetting to see how easy it is to hit a homer in other ballparks. Chase Field home of the Dbacks is the most difficult ballpark to hit a homer in. Deep outfield and it’s about 360 feet at the shortest point and 420 ish at the deepest part. Huge disadvantage to a players slugging numbers playing in Phoenix compared to Aaron Judge in the Bronx who obviously is going to hit 50 homers a season
The difference is that all of right field at Yankee Stadium is short by MLB standards. You have to hit it in a very tight window directly at the pole to get short home runs in RF at Fenway. The bulk of right field at Fenway is actually far deeper than the average MLB stadium.
Funniest thing about this is it’s basically just a compilation of road teams hitting homers against the Red Sox
At least that stadium has been around for a while. It would be worse if the stadium was only five years old.
That pesky pole!
everybody gangsta until you hit a 230 foot home run at polo grounds
Real💀💀
Or a 484 foot home run to center field at the Polo Grounds
The equal and opposite of having Willie Mays catch your fly ball you hit nearly 500 feet.
Mel Ott would like a word.
258' in RF 276' in LF. Dusty Rhodes 258' shot to win game 1 of the 1954 WS. The most famous Chinese Homerun of them all.
As a Red Sox fan I don’t know what else I was expecting 🤦♂️
Was it 13 hrs at Fenway with 12 being the visiting team? I feel attacked.
@@Billy.MatsonI mean, the Red Sox can only hit 1 in this entire video by default
Fenway is small, so it would make sense that most of them would be against the Sox.

Yeah you knew the Pesky pole would be the star of this video.

Trejo is a typo, Nationals was actually Eddie Rosario
@@squizzage1464bro you're a life saver i was dead confused searching all over for another alan trejo i was like what 😭
The Top 10 is basically just 10 different teams bouncing balls off of the Pesky Pole.
I had to rewind to make sure my eyes read it right
17 of the 30 were in either Fenway or Yankee
Yeah and one in the trop I think 🤔 A.L. East ballparks have weak distance at their corners. Thank goodness Camden yards pushed back their fence and rose it up as well.
Okay the clang of the ball hitting the foul pole at 0:19 is super satisfying.
Literally NOBODY in attendance for that game lol
BAAHHWOOWOWwowowowowow
I love how these are either all Pesky Pole, YS short porch, or Petco Park home runs.
Living in Massachusetts, I'm kinda shocked this wasn't a pure Pesky Pole compilation.
I'm honestly surprised there wasn't at least a few more Tropicana ones, they got their own little Pesky Pole area in left field, but I guess it is still a little further back at 315ft vs Pesky at 302
Stanton has one of the longest and shortest hrs in recent history
stantonian blast to left and caught for an out
Fenway is 298, but it’s marked as 302. The miracle happened overnight after MLB mandated a minimum of 300 feet from home to the foul poles.
Not sure if I’ve ever seen one like Ian Happ’s at the 1:13 mark. It hit the very bottom of the foul pole where it’s not even painted yellow, just a grey patch.
Bro a 302 foot home run??? Is this polo grounds? 🤣
I think😂
@@nickbauer9436 No, that is just Fenway.
Is there a video for shortest home run in each stadium?
As of today I’ve decided to add “pesky” to my daily vocabulary!!
I kept hearing “the pesky pole” 😂😂😂
It's the "Pesky pole", named after Johnny Pesky (q. v.).
Isn’t it Pesky’s Pole? Not Pesky Pole
@@SegaGenesisEvangelion No, the usage dropped the possessive, not heard very often.
Seeing someone edit their comment to beg for likes is beyond cringy
Unliked as soon as I saw the edit😐😐😐

the video had a mistake, the guy on the nats was eddie rosario. just mislabeled.
Even the Giants with a short porch in right have their shortest HR at an interleague away game in boston's little corner.
And everyone complains about the short porch at Yankee stadium 😭but look at Fenway
To be fair, that’s if you hit it right down the line. Shoots out to 370+ pretty quickly. Not much room for error
Because the short porch is also BS. Homeruns there arent HRs for like 26 other ballparks.
Lol Fenway has the deepest right center in the league
It goes out to 380 when the wall straightens out.
@@SirTylerGolf and Yankee stadium has one of the deeper left/left center dimensions in the league. Like any ballpark there’s quirks and advantages or disadvantages unique to the stadium

Yes lmao

Yup. They used the name of the next batter during edition.
Bethancourt dropping it right in the Crawford Corner is beautiful.

So true😂
Not this year
@@PHXNKVHXLIC They gave up a lot to the Rockies
I watched every single one of those throughout my life
@@marcuspelletier6969 cool
This is just the average 2024 Cleveland Guardians homerun
I do love me a good "glove-spiker" home run. XD
And I cant believe no Yankee has ever hit either foul pole (314 feet)❤g
From 1938-73 the LF pole was 301, and the RF pole 296
Fun fact: The Cardinals' shortest and longest home run were hitted by the same guy:
Paul Goldschmidt
Kinda crazy how people complain so much about Yankee Stadium, yet the team didn't even crack the top 10.
Can you do every teams hardest throw of the stat cast era?
Mom: “We have Vladdy Jr at home”
Vladdy Jr. at home: 1:36
Red Sox had so many home runs hit off them
It’s just because of Fenway Park those would not be homers anywhere else
@@ghostly1750 ikr
I love that Ender Inciarte pimped his 😂
I like how all the ones to Right Field at Yankees Stadium are commentated like normal home runs because that right field is so small
That Luis Robert home run at #4, I was at that game last season...horrible weather all afternoon...it wasn't raining but it was just misty all throughout the game...
Genuinely surprised Boston isn't #1 on this list, given how many more opportunities they have to hit a short home run off the Pesky Pole
Funny how the Yankees and Red Sox are united in both having cheap areas to hit home runs in right field specifically
I am going to start telling my friends that the Guardians have the 6th shortest home run!😂
Good job, good effort Michael Kay
Pesky pole for the win on this one! I didn't count, but it felt like more than half of these were near the ol' Pesky.
“And a high fly ball headed towards the pesky pole”
0:15 is the best Covid homer. Doonnnggg!
"Heading towards the Pesky Pole." Compilation
Fenway actually has a big right field. Just with a fun short corner that gets hit once in a while.
on the nationals one it was eddie rosario not alan trejo
That dang pesky pole. ✊
what i learned is Fenway is a ridiculous ballpark
When a ball hits a foul pole, the ball travelled the distance the pole is from home plate
Nah that's crazy I'm 14 and could technically hit a home run out of fenway 💀
no u could not
@@JustinSavickey I hit one 313 down the right field line literally a couple days ago
@@3liWardand who was pitching to you
@@SideStrafed I'm not saying i'm not hitting a homer off a major leaguer it was in game probably 70 mph

Were any of these hit down the line toward the pesky pole?
All these Penske pole HR
Imagine hitting a 302 foot home run like yeah you hit a home run but like it was 302 feet
How did I know most of these would be to
right field at Fenway
That pesky pole is well named
Boston's right field should be a ground rule double
So about half of these take place in Boston and another quarter of them were in New York.
Atta Boy Gimenez bro they are all at genes it that corner.I Keep hearing HIGH FLY BALL NEAR THE PESKY POLE
Not almost all of them at fenway
2:15 is that Zach Hample in the green sweater?
2:39 and again behind the foul pole?!?
Just here to see how many times right field at Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park showed up. 😆⚾️

For the nationals you accidentally wrote Alan Trejo but it was Eddie Rosario batting
5:11 I happened to be at this game 😂
Not really sure how theses are being measured. The one that hit the pole at the 314 porch in Yankee stadium was called 320 feet
Height. The ball would have landed 6 feet behind where the pole is if the pole weren't there.
This has me thinking what if barry bonds played for the red sox
The only thing sweeter than hitting 450 foot blast is hitting a 302 foot blooper off of the pesky pole
Lmaooo most of the last 10 were toward “the pesky pole” in Boston
Surely there have to be a few inside-the-parkers that belong on this list. Technically speaking.
Adolis Garcia just hit one 328 feet. Only three feet away from tying the Rangers record
They should move the fences back and they should move the mound back 5 feet as well
Pesky Pole is Lorenzo Cain's Trap Queen
Thank you. As a Yankees fan I can finally send this to any Red Sox fans that complain about the short porch!

You should do the shortest homerun by ballpark.
3:14 absolutely nobody thought that was a homer lmao
A video of the shortest home run at each stadium would be a better video instead of watching each team hit a HR at Fenway
This guy loves saying “pesky pole”
So what you're saying is we need to demolish Fenway
The dbacks and padres are identical
Whole lotta Fenway 😂
The nationals one is Eddie rosario
That’s Eddie Rosario not Alan Trejo for the Nats
0:50 this isn't alan trejo it's eddie rosario lol
The one over the red monster definitely would have travelled 350, no? Makes me question how statcast is measuring these…
Pretty disappointed honestly. Was expecting 30 inside the park homers.
I don’t ever wanna hear a Red Sox fan complain about yankee stadium again
2:12 it’s the same spot

0:17 is this during Covid or just the usual turn out for a Pirates-Brewers game?
