Today is the 10th anniversary of Miguel Cabrera's Major League debut. What did he do that day? Not much, just hit a walkoff home run (it was his first big league hit). The trot? ~20.64 seconds. In the three-plus years of the Tater Trot Tracker, Cabrera's fastest timed trot was 20.93 seconds (hit this year). […]

A quick look at the 14 trots around the majors on Friday. Home Run of the Day: Chris Young, Oakland Athletics – 21.68 seconds [video] Jay Bruce had the walkoff home run for the Reds out in Cincinnati, but this bomb from Chris Young at the Coliseum is the one we'll remember. Slowest Trot: J.P. […]

If you didn't see it yesterday, you must check out this video of Cuban superstar Alfredo Despaigne admiring his home run. It takes him 8.5 seconds before he even starts running! Now on to the (disappointing in comparison) trots! Home Run of the Day: Robinson Cano, New York Yankees – 20.91 seconds [video] There aren't […]

It's been a few days since we've last had an update here, so let's not waste any time and get right to the trots! Home Run of the Day: Brandon Moss #1, Oakland Athletics – N/A seconds [video] Technically, this trot doesn't count. Thanks to the way Ichiro played the ball in right field – […]

Another quick look at the day's trots… Home Run of the Day: Matt Holliday, St. Louis Cardinals – 24.86 seconds [video] Tied at four at the end of nine innings, the Cardinals somehow won this game 11-4 in ten innings. This grand slam from Matt Holliday in the tenth had a lot to do with […]

Just a quick look today (unlike a certain Boston designated hitter)… Home Run of the Day: Kris Medlen, Atlanta Braves – 22.57 seconds [video] A 2-1 victory for the Braves powered, in part, by the first career home run for starting pitcher Kris Medlen.

Out in Taiwan on Friday, Manny Ramirez hit his eighth home run of the year in the second inning of the EDA Rhinos game. As Manny trotted around the bases in 25.22 seconds (a practically Rosales-ian trot time for present-day Ramirez), the announcer shouted "This ball is long gone, just like the ex-girlfriend who will […]

It was quite the night for home runs around the league. The Astros socked six home runs from six different players against the Orioles, while the Rockies needed only three players for the same feat (thanks to a trio of blasts from Carlos Gonzalez). Meanwhile, Kyle Seager hit a grand slam in the bottom of […]

Yasiel Puig deserves all the praise from last night, but it would be a shame to overlook John Mayberry. Entering the game in the late innings as a pinch-hitter, Mayberry ended the night with two home runs. The first tied the game up in the bottom of the tenth and the second won the game […]

Billy Hamilton is at it again. In a game versus the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens, the Cincinnati Reds prospect, who might give Barry Allen a run for his money if ever given the chance, hit his second inside-the-park home run in the last two years. Let's watch the video. Your browser does not support iframes. […]

The big news of the day was speedster Billy Hamilton's inside-the-park home run down in Toledo last night.
