On Monday night, Mike Stanton belted not one, but two of his most impressive bombs of the 2011 season at home against Mike Minor<\/a><\/strong> and the Atlanta Braves.\u00a0 While he hasn\u2019t hit the 50 home runs that I had hoped for (he will next year), Stanton\u2019s power has been every bit as advertised; of his 34 home runs, 26 have traveled over 400 feet.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN Home Run Tracker<\/a> (formerly Hit Tracker Online), Stanton has hit five balls over 450-feet, and 15 of his gargantuan blasts have been classified as \u201cno-doubters.\u201d\u00a0 Thanks to MLB.com and their wise decision to allow the use of their videos, here are Stanton\u2019s tape-measure shots from Monday night at Dolphins Stadium.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s the astonishing lack of attendance and background noise, but the sound of Stanton striking the ball just sounds different than everyone else.<\/p>\n
