Travis d'Arnaud hit a laser of a home run to give the New York Mets a little breathing room, giving them a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning of Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, but what made the home run special was that he hit the giant apple in center field at Citi Field.

Statcast projected d'Arnaud's home run ball to land 431 feet away from home. So now you know how far the apple is. #Mets

It was the Mets catcher’s second home run this postseason.
UPDATE: On Sunday, there was an addition to Citi Field after his home run:
