April 21, 2012 Tater Trot TrackerTrot Times for April 20What do you do when two different players each hit an inside-the-park home run on the same night? Normally, one is good enough for Home Run of the Day, but how do you choose? And what if they both come on a once-in-a-century day where two storied teams are wearing fantastic uniforms from generations past while celebrating the birthday of a park like Fenway? Especially when there are six different home runs in that game? And let's not forget a pair of home runs from last year's sad sack story Adam Dunn, or home run number 631(good enough for fifth all-time) from Alex Rodriguez? Such are the woes of the Tater Trot tracker. Let's get to the trots!
Home Run of the Day: Norichika Aoki, Milwaukee Brewers - 15.5 seconds [video]
Slowest Trot: Todd Helton, Colorado Rockies - 24.5 seconds [video] It should be noted that David Ortiz's home run was originally ruled a double on the field. After play ended with Papi standing on second, it was reviewed by the umpires and ruled a home run. As per the Tater Trot Tracker policy, this home run goes down as "not recordable." In order to be tracked, a trot must be continuous. Anything else gives meaningless trot times.
