Giancarlo Stanton just hit a monster shot in Colorado....guessing 475...490 wouldn't surprise me....anything under 460 and they need to burn in hell.

Watch the replay of his HR today....it speaks of the 494 to start the video.

Baseball Tonight just did a 5 minute piece on Stanton....said 494 feet and today's was 465.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/exclusive-daily-news-uncovers-bizarre-plot-melky-cabrera-fake-website-duck-drug-suspension-article-1.1139623

Read this article. Quoting some of it...

In a bizarre attempt to avoid a 50-game drug suspension, San Francisco Giants star Melky Cabrera created a fictitious website and a nonexistent product designed to prove he inadvertently took the banned substance that caused a positive test under Major League Baseball’s drug program. But instead of exonerating Cabrera of steroid use, the Internet stunt trapped him in a web of lies. Amid the information-gathering phase of his doping case last month, his cover story unraveled quickly, and what might have been a simple suspension has attracted further attention from federal investigators and MLB, the Daily News has learned.
