Where Would The Ted Williams Famous 502 Foot Home Run Ball Land In Your Ballpark?

Slow news day for baseball with a travel day planned for tomorrow, so I decided to do a little research. Have you ever seen this red seat while visiting Fenway Park? It is in the right field bleacher section in the greatest baseball stadium of all-time. Do you know what it signifies? Do you know the story behind the left handed Hall of Fame slugger who belted it? Here is a quick refresher course, courtesy of mlb.com – https://www.mlb.com/news/ted-williams-502-foot-fenway-home-run-investigation

The famous Ted Williams “Red Seat” – some 502 feet from home plate.

After reading the refresher article and clicking on a few of the hyperlinks in the article, I was thinking about that mammoth home run. And where it would land in other ballparks, approximately speaking. So, I took to Google Maps and drew out 502 feet of distance to roughly right field or thereabouts. And here are ten of the hundreds of ballparks I have visited in the last 15 years, showing the 502 foot distance measured and where Ted Williams’ home run would have landed had it been hit in that ballpark.

Baum-Walker Stadium, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR

Blair Field, University of California, Long Beach

Conaty Field, Bryant University, Smithfield, RI

Brooklyn Cyclones, Maimonides Park, Brooklyn, NY

Arthur Perdue Stadium, Delmarva Shorebirds, Salisbury, MD

Cheney Stadium, Tacoma Rainiers, Tacoma, WA

Have a great day everyone. Be good to each other. Open doors for people. Walk with your head up. Take a deep breathe and exhale. Enjoy family and friends. Let someone know you are in their corner. Lend an ear to someone in need. Do a good deed for a stranger.
