Giancarlo Stanton is a very, very strong man. He does things with a baseball bat that very few can and have ever done, and on Tuesday night he did something that hasn't been done at Dodger Stadium since Mark McGwire did it in 1999. He hit one all the way out of the stadium, over the awning covering the left field bleachers.

The official tracker had it going 475-feet, which is a very long way to hit a baseball. The pitcher's reaction as soon as it leaves Stanton's bat is priceless, and Dodgers' left fielder Scott Van Slyke doesn't even move, because why waste energy on a ball that doesn't even stay in the stadium.
