I couldn't see the sky from standing room - from that perspective, where you can't see any higher than the bleachers, the ball just seemed to go straight up and disappear. The misconception didn't last long, of course, but that's what it looked like. Ah. I was working in the right field grandstands that day and was going to be one of the guys on top of the dugout after the game. I was crouched down by the dugout since the winning run was on third and as soon as he hit it I jumped on up. It was a freaking moonshot. I have no idea what Kasper was looking at.
