This day in Los Angeles Dodgers history saw Mike Piazza hit what once held as the longest home run at Coors Field. Piazza's blast on September 26, 1997, was hit off Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Darren Holmes and traveled 496 feet. Piazza's home run hit off the left-center field billboard that is located between the scoreboard and Rockpile display. However, the distance was a postgame estimate by the Rockies and ultimately was a point of contention, particularly once the Statcast era began in 2015.

This collaboration with the New York Mets and New York or Nowhere brings us back to our roots in baseball while also boldly pushing forward into new possibilities for fans, New Era Cap Senior Vice President of Marketing and Brand Mark Maidment said.
