Al CrisafulliJay, I think Bonds is the only person to hit it into McCovey's Cove more than twice.
Yes, PacBell is not a hitter's paradise. But it was built for Bonds. From what I understand, balls don't get hung up in the wind the way they did at Candlestick. A home run is a home run at Pac Bell, whereas I've seen film of long fly balls hit at Candlestick that wound up getting blown back and landing in the INFIELD.
If Bonds has hit 50 into the water, and who knows how many more out into right, my point is that perhaps without the Candlestick wind, he could have hit more out than he did.
