Two weeks ago, Jason Major discussed the seven biggest home run bombs since 1989. Since Major League Baseball does not want you to enjoy video highlights unless you're paying a hefty fee to MLB, I wasn't able to run any video clips of the home runs. However, thanks to the modern marvel of email, I was able to speak with a reader who happily passed along two home run highlights from the Top 7 list.

You also get a bonus Wade Boggs All Star home run, which by itself is quite the bonus given Wade's penchant for hitting the long ball. With the Pujols bomb, your best bet is to watch with no sound because it looks like the clip was part of this year's All Star Game Fanfest where fans get to broadcast highlights ... not exactly an authentic feeling.





Sound or no sound, that was a bomb.

Check out the Top 7 in its entirety right here. And keep your eyes and ears peeled for the debut of the Steel Cage radio show with Jason Major and myself ... right here on these pages tomorrow afternoon.

My favorite part, which is not shown here, is Andy Petite's reaction to that Pujols bomb as he watched it enter orbit....."Oh. My. God." Classic.

My favorite part of the Pujols video is the "announcer" calling him "Brandon Lidge" (that happens about two seconds before you mute it). You have to love FanFest.

I'm a cubs fan and of course hate the the redbirds with a passion, but that Pujols bomb is beautiful

Even after 25 years in the business, the Padres equipment manager found himself stunned by the size of the yellow pit stains Gene Walter left on his home jerseys.
