MLB 12: The Show - O.S. Longball Competition

[jmik58]

I thought it would be fun to share and keep a dynamic "scorecard" of the longest home runs hit in-game by fellow-O.S. members. No HR Derby shots; only in-game.

Also, provide a couple screenshots and/or video highlights for proof. I'm not 100% positive, but I was thinking the boxscore gamelog or other stat tracking locations may record the length of the home run, but don't quote me. Anyways, make sure you can back it up with visual proof.

EDIT: Don't worry about getting an image showing the distance. Just post a screenshot or video of the homerun and we'll go by the honor system on distance.

Sliders aren't something I'll get picky about. If you want to jack the power and contact all the way up, that's your thing. I'm in it for realism so I'm trying to find balance and try not to skew things with sliders. The point is to have fun with it.

I'll periodically update the "Scoreboard" as more guys launch qualifying shots.

What do you get if you make it on the board? Bragging rights of course...and a cheaply made certificate honoring your accomplishments. Crappy frame from Wal-Mart not included.

Let the fun begin...

I saw this way too late. I hit a 499ft homerun on my Vita last night with Bombtista against Strasburg and a 485ft shot with Pujols on the PS3 against Felix.

What stadium can you even come close to sniffing 500 feet in? I'm trying to get to 490 feet to get that trophy.

Coors would be my first choice... (You won't hear me say that if we're talking beverages)

Other than that, any park on a really windy day
