I can't imagine anyone's ever done it, but I wonder who is closest to hitting for MLB's Water Cycle: A HR into the Allegheny River (Pittsburgh), McCovey Cove (SF), the Pool in Arizona and the Kansas City fountain. I promise I'm not high or drunk. I'm legitimately curious.
Ohio in Cincinnati, not the Alleghany in Pitt.
What
Cincinnati over Pittsburgh. You should change the 4 in your description.
Why?
Because it's more logical.
It's literally not. I think one person has reached the Ohio River in Cincinnati. The Allegheny gets reached multiple times per season. Are you trolling?
Literally, eh? Have to assume one of us is trolling at this point and I know it's not me.
Well then maybe you would like to explain how it's logical to replace one that gets reached regularly with one that has been reached one time in 20+ years?
Cincinnati > Pittsburgh
I don't know who the @downgoesbrown.bsky.social of MLB is, but I bet he has that answer.
Being high or drunk and curious aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, those substances might prompt some curiosity.
So I found lists of the players who have hit HRs into the River, Cove, and Pool (couldn't find a fountain list). Nobody has hit all three, but 9 people have hit 2 of the 3 and of those 9, 6 have also homered at Kauffman: D. Span, J. Burnitz, J. Pederson, J. Cruz, Jr., P. Goldschmidt, and S. Vogt
Omg @ewpod.bsky.social would love to hear you chat about this. @megrowler.fangraphs.com
Pretty sure Joc’s was into the fountain. I assume Pittsburgh is what he has to cross off? www.mlb.com/video/joc-pe...
Joc's already did it. www.mlb.com/video/joc-pe...
He hasn't hit one into the Pool at Chase Field yet, though.
or into the ohio (adam dunn)
No he needs the pool
So did Joc baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-video...
Vogt put it in the fountain in Kansas City baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-video...
Bet on Kyle Schwarber.
What the falls at Truist?
I am high and curious

Was the Rays tank still a thing up until when the hurricane ruined the Trop?
I was into this until you told us you were sober.
He didn’t say he was sober, just not high or drunk. Could be tripping or on barbituates
Bonds probably would have done all 3 if PNC was around when he was hitting.
This is an incredibly good question.
This is a great question

Sad that the Rays tank isn't included or is capped on who's splashed a ball in there
What about the devil ray pool in Tropicana Field?
This is the only kind of baseball content I want in my feed.
I wonder if McCutchen has done it
McCutchen never hit one into McCovey Cove. The only right handed hitter to hit one into the Cove was Heliot Ramos last year.
I like it.
The “KAMP”… Baseball’s EGOT
i like how your brain is thinking
If Ohtani ever put one in the fountain in KC before he left the Angels I would like his chances given that he now gets six games a year in San Francisco and Arizona.
