That short 'hospitality pen' in Brewers RF strikes again
Posted: 10 Aug 2025 22:31 pm
Tonight the Brewers walk-off HR landed just over the fence of the 'beer garden ' (whatever they term it ) and Brew Crew wins it.
That ball carried just 363 ft. for the game winner. At Busch , that ball is fly out deep on the track .
That was the same location where the Brewers got knocked out of the wildcard postseason when Mets Pete Alonso hit a line drive just over the fence. Alonso's was 367 ft. That was in the top of the 9th Game 3 (first two games split ) with Brewers leading 3-1 and 1 out. Alonso's 3 - run chip shot
doomed the Brewers and ended their playoff hopes.
Think we will see that same short HR pen factor in again this year in the playoffs. Brewer fans still have nightmares over that short Alonso HR.
