Happy New Year! There's a lot more to explore here. For example, the coefficient of restitution! If you work for the MLB and would consider letting me in on some baseball science I'd be game. P.S. Besides the obvious answer of Cal Ripken Jr., who was your favorite baseball player as a kid? Also, thank you to everyone who supports Smarter Every Day on Patreon.

Vin Scully recounted his call of the "Shot heard round the world" a few times...I was lucky enough to have heard it...a mesmerizing story. The homer was later revised down to around 560'. Howard never swung hard at a pitch, but this knuckleball so badly fooled him, he literally swung with his left arm only, having let go of the bat with his right arm.

Yep & ty.

[@bobm40]

Should just be titled "The furthest hit baseball ever recorded." A home run requires an actual batter by definition.

[@djdoc06]

11:54 love how the bat gets dented and bent when it hits the ball.

[@Romeo-ms2dm]

Was anyone else disappointed that there wasn’t a slow mo for the record? 😭

[@TheZombieeeeeee]

you can slow mo videos manually

[@Jaco9307]

Yea, wtf

[@TheDeafCreeper]

@@TheZombieeeeeee Playing back a video at half speed is not the same as slow mo footage, especially in this situation.

[@xX1GuNNy1Xx]

@@TheDeafCreeper ya, slow mo isn't playing a 60fps video at 10 fps, it's 1,000-1,000,000 fps recorded played back at 60fps

[@WKPlugins]

Thanks for ruining the disappointment for me

[@TenThumbsProductions]

The fact that you needed a machine that was basically a helicopter to hit a home run further than Babe Ruth and Micky Mantle is a testament to those two men. And the third one, the AAA home run, props to your amazing 582 too.

[@matthewcullen1298]

Amazing considering how low tech the game was back then . Just pure sportsmanship.

[@nonowords7857]

exactly

[@joseanthompson9069]

The power the possed.

[@dangolfishin]

Both were no question way ahead of their counterparts but no chance either could hit further than say Barry Bonds or even a random modern slugger like Bryce Harper. Sports have always exaggerated their numbers for hype.

I really like watching your video your teaching and entertaining me at the same time its really good and I like how you explain it while your excite at the moment great Job.

[@theshinyskuntank5955]

The "Helicopter" has entered the field!

[@grintrap4455]

Well, actually, if the bats rotated as they spun (or spun as they rotated?) they would develop aerodynamic properties and you could have some lift. I have seen some experimental wind turbines that work like that. Something to think about! 🤓 (I am actually in the power industry)

[@mrkeefor]

Looked like on the very last shot it was starting to take off

[@kg4boj]

@@mrkeefor The vibrations from such a setup will do that. In helicopters the rotors have several degrees of freedom to lead and lag as well as bounce up or down as this effect is called ground resonance and will rip a rotorcraft to pieces, there are a few youtube videos of this on various rotorcraft testing and proving trials.

[@jucom756]

10:48 this is a fps to rps close match, which makes it seem like it spinning slower, but then when the ball hit it just stops for a moment, That just looks super weird.

[@lukedawson2162]

Yeah when a rotating object reaches a fast enough RPM the blade or in this case the bats position will be occupied by the preceding bat in each frame your eye records. Quite trippy.

[@jucom756]

There is actually a SED episode about this i think

[@rayansandid6609]

That’s called stroboscopic effect
