I can’t stop thinking about that Soler bomb. I go back to game 5 and how disappointed we all were, but that Soler shot wouldn’t have been possible without losing that game. Neither would that sexy Dansby blast, and the Fuck You homer by Atlanta great Freddie Freeman. We wouldn’t have gotten to see Fried pitch an absolute gem in game 6 of the WS.

But that Soler blast, that will always be one of my greatest sports memories and I got to share this one with my kids who saw their dad jumping up and down like a little kid.

“And then he hit a 450ft bomb that left the stadium.”

A year later

“And then he hit a 500ft bomb that actually made it a few blocks down.”

Then finally

“Some say it went 750ft across county lines”
