The Rangers lost 4-3 to the Indians on Tuesday night, but fans in Arlington got a treat when Joey Gallo homered into the right-field upper deck.
Gallo's second-inning drive off Carlos Carrasco was measured at 443 feet, but it sure looks like it went a lot longer, seeing how it landed halfway up the stands.

It also looked a lot longer than Gallo's first major league homer, a bomb against Jeff Samardzija in 2015 that traveled into the same section.
That home run was measured at 444 feet. Color us skeptical about Tuesday's measurement, then.
And color us unenthused about the Statcast-izing of Tuesday's dinger.
Moonshot.@JoeyGallo24’s 115.6-mph, 443-foot smash is the #Statcast era's hardest HR launched at 35+ degrees. https://t.co/cUyBMnpDX8 pic.twitter.com/KGBLXTcGkr

To quote the guys in the bleachers in the original "Major League" movie:
INDIANS FAN 1: "Too high? Too hard."
INDIANS FAN 2: "That was just really high."
INDIANS FAN 3: "Who gives a s—? It's gone."
