Let’s lean into the controversy and remember that Cal Raleigh was nearly knocked out in the first round tonight. He and Brent Rooker tied with 17 home runs. The tiebreaker, formerly a swing off, was their longest homer; but both had 471-foot homers. It wasn’t until the league (or whoever is in charge of the tracker) broke things down to the hundredth of a foot that Raleigh was determined to have hit his farthest homer less than one inch farther than Rooker’s.
