I would love to see...
Jimmie Foxx connect perfectly on a Bob Feller fastball
Josh Gibson get it all on Satchel Paige's "Bee Ball." (First 800+ foot HR?)
I am sad to say though, that Willie would not have made "The Catch" if they used this ball, because it would have been a home run!
Anyway, I want to hear from you about match-ups, scenarios, things you would like to see, or how this ball would have dramatically altered a specific play. (We know it would have changed the whole history of the sport... so for fun, let's keep it to singular games or series).

Mantle would have easily hit 700+ home runs despite all of his injuries...
