Nelson Cruz hit a baseball OUT OF THE MARINERS STADIUM in batting practice

This baseball went over everything.

Nelson Cruz, noted home run hitter, hit a home run in batting practice that left Safeco Field completely. That's very far.

Let’s give some context to that blast. Here’s a bird’s eye view:

The announcers say the roof was closed, but that didn’t affect the trajectory. Here’s what it would look like from home plate.

Still, don’t expect Cruz to do this again. He only tried to hit it out because Felix Hernandez requested it of Cruz, who has hit home runs out of Fenway Park and Minute Maid Park during games.

“I don’t think I am going to try to do it,” Cruz said. “I went 0-for-4 yesterday, I don’t think it worked out.”

Regardless, let’s say goodbye to this good, sweet baseball. Have a wonderful life!
