The only other home run I remember being hit this far at Wrigley Field, or specifically this area was Sammy Sosa in the 2003 NLCS. That was hit to left-center field, but this Kyle Schwarber bomb hit the roof above the batter’s eye in dead center.
The wind is blowing out, but still this ball was murdered.

If there’s one guy who will ever get close to hitting the scoreboard it’s gotta be Schwarber. He now has 16 home runs this season, tied with Javier Baez for most on the Cubs.
