5 years agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi hit the shortest home run of the 2019 MLB season, barely hooking a flyball around Pensky Pole, for a 310-foot "bomb". After hitting a slider from Yankee's starter CC Sabathia, Benintendi's blast was originally called a ground-rule double, with everyone naturally assuming that a home run couldn't be so short. But after reviewing the replay, it was determined that Benintendi's ball had just cleared the wall, bouncing off of the first row and then back onto the field. The home run now gives Benintendi nine on the season, as hope continues to fade that the 26-year-old will take the next step towards superstardom after back-to-back standout seasons.--Nicklaus Gaut - RotoBaller
