VIDEO: Cardinals' Rangel Ravelo Launches Unreal 487-Foot Moonshot at Coors Field
By Daniel Marcillo
Juiced baseballs, Coors Field and a day game all factored together have the potential to create video game-like home runs. Rangel Ravelo took full advantage of that with the second longest home run of the season. It traveled a long 487 feet at 111.5 mph and almost cleared the bleachers in left center field.

Ravelo is just a rookie, who is not known for his power, but you would not know that based on this home run. It gave the Cardinals a 3-1 lead, and it was only the second of his career. He very well may never match that distance.
