Andres Galarraga’s final career HR…

Andres Galarraga may have hit some of the longest home runs in MLB history, but perhaps the *biggest* homer of his career was this blast at Turner Field in his first game back after missing the entire 1999 season battling cancer. Folk hero-level stuff!





Don’t even try to tell me that this Andres Galarraga nuke off Kevin Brown at Pro Player Stadium was going any less than 800 feet


@notgaetti He won all 3 legs of the triple crown (without winning a triple crown) in his career. The only active player to do that is Judge. The others: Babe Ruth* Hank Aaron* Joe DiMaggio* ARod / Bonds / Manny Albert Pujols Johnny Mize* Tris Speaker* Dan Brouthers* Ed Delahanty* *HOFer

@notgaetti @CocaCola Magnificent ball player. Without the time and physical he lost because of the cancer, we would be talking about a HOF guy. Keep in mind that, after cancer (and all the horrible treatments, career interruption, and at 38-39 years old) the guy had a 300 and 30 hr with braves.

I would not be surprised if: • Glenallen Hill is being sold short • Mark McGwire should be on here • Andres Galarraga should be on here • Luke Easter should be on here 10 times
