Russell Martin Home Run Contest

PrintLast week James Loney beat Martin to the punch and launched not one but two home runs on the road trip. Alas Coltrane is still sitting with zero home runs so we need to help get him going. This is a brief six game home stand against some very pedestrian pitching. You may only pick from one of the games on the current homestand.
In Martins young career his first home run of the year occurred on:
2006 - May 7th, 3rd game ever
2007 - April 3rd, 2nd game of season
2008 - April 15th, 14th game
Martin's bat has come alive in May so we aren't complaining, we are just having fun with it.

If it’s an inside the park job, we may have to award an additional prize :)

Sheffield will dive and miss and Beltran will forget to back him up. I feel pretty strongly about this one. ;)
The idea that Sheffield would dive is handicapping your guess.

That reminds me of the old Carney Lansford line
someone said his range at 3B was however far he could reach as he fell down.

I smell another contest
Who will dive first, Sheffield or Ethier? :)

Just an observation but left fielders seem to dive all the time, right fielders not so much.

Won’t Ausmus be starting that game? Are you predicting a pinch hit home run?

Livan Hernandez?!
I’d make a bad pun off of “Livan” but they’re all just too painfully awful.
May 20th
5th inning
361 feet
