On Sunday, Joey Gallo hit a baseball a very, very long way in a Spring Training game off of Esmailin Caradad. Back in 2003, Hank Blalock did something similar in an exhibition game, albeit on the slightly larger scale of the All-Star game against a slightly higher caliber of pitcher in Eric Gagne. 

However, Gallo's swing on his bomb on Sunday reminded me of Blalock's.
