Dunn's 35th home run of the year was what this game will be remembered for. The ball cleared the 32-foot-high batter's eye in right-center field and ended up in the Ohio River. Dunn's shot, which traveled an estimated 535 feet, was the longest in Great American history. The ball bounced on Mehring Way before bouncing into the river.
I can tell you, THAT is a MONSTER shot and a half. He didn't hit the river on the fly, but it's still impressive. Great American Ballpark is on the Ohio River, but not the same way that PacBell (or whatever) is on McCovey Cove. Too bad for the Reds, no one was on base and they lost the game anyway.
