Wow! Sexson hits estimated 503 foot home run

Disclaimer: This is not a "Sex" thread but a "Sexson" thread.

Richie Sexson hit the longest home run in Bank One Ballpark history and Randy Johnson struck out 10 in seven innings last night as the Diamondbacks beat the Cubs, 9-0, and snapped Chicago's winning streak at six games.

Sexson's two-run shot off reliever Francis Beltran in the sixth inning traveled an estimated 503 feet and smacked off Sexson's own image halfway up the giant video screen in centerfield, smashing several lights. It was Sexson's 200th career homer and ninth this season.

Previously, the longest homer at the seven-year-old park was hit in 1999, a 473-footer by Scott Rolen, then with the Phillies, against Omar Daal.

I hope they're kicking themselves right now.
