A Homer for the Ages at the Astrodome
Date: 1986 Season
In just the second All-Star Game Home Run Derby, Darryl Strawberry tied Dave Parker of the Cincinnati Reds to win the contest. The headline blast belonged to Strawberry who launched a ball off a speaker on the Astrodome’s roof 350 feet from home plate and 140 feet high.
