She Is Gone - June 24

PrintWelcome to our June contest: "She Is Gone."
The contest is about home runs hit by the Dodgers. For each game, you have to guess three things:
1) Name of Dodger to Hit Home Run
2) Inning of Home Run
3) Distance of Home Run, in feet
The most important thing is to guess the correct hitter, who hits the first Dodger home run of the game. If the Dodgers hit multiple homers in a game, and nobody guessed the first player to homer, we will move on to the second player to homer, and so on.
The inning and distance will be used, in that order, as tiebreakers in case multiple people guess the same player.
There can be multiple guesses of the same player, but once someone claims the inning and distance for their guess, nobody else can guess both that same inning and distance for that player.
Only guesses in this thread will count, and they must be received before the first pitch of the game.
The person who has the most wins at the end of June will win their choice of Bluetopia on DVD, a 2009 Dodger Media Guide, a copy of "100 Things Dodgers Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die" by Jon Weisman, or a 2009 Topps Dodgers' team baseball card set!

Congratulations to bucknellbruin, who correctly picked James Loney as the first Dodger to homer. Tripon also picked Loney, but bucknellbruin's inning (5th) was closer to the actual than Tripon (7th).
The Dodgers now have more home runs in June (16) than they did in May (14), in 10 fewer games.

1st or 2nd AB in the inning? :)
Its not possible for Loney to have his 1st AB of the game in the 4th.

Could be a trick
his first plate appearance could come early but if he is walked then his first official AB could occur in the 4th inning.
I can’t believe I didn’t pick up on that, especially since I’m always quick to correct people who say “nice AB” after a walk :)

Well,
I did spell Loney’s pet name wrong. ; )
And I do want him to get some strikes down the middle. lol
