Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Pedro Alvarez hits home run into a boat on the Allegheny River


Over his career, Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Pedro Alvarez has done one thing consistently well: Smash home runs with incredible power. He was at it again Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins. In the fourth inning, Alvarez stepped to the plate against Ricky Nolasco. On the third pitch of the at-bat, he struck. Alvarez annihilated a 91 mph fastball from Nolasco, sending it deep to right field. The ball traveled so far, in fact, that it completely cleared the stadium. (Yahoo! Sports)
