Munetaka Murakami damages the Wrigley Field scoreboard with monster HR

Murakami’s blast even caused some damage to the scoreboard. The local television broadcast aired an image of the scoreboard with a small dent in it from where Murakami’s home run nailed it.

The 26-year-old Murakami, a lefty-hitting first baseman, has burst onto the scene during his first year in Major League Baseball. He entered play on Tuesday with 28 home runs and 57 RBIs through just 89 games (with an overall OPS of .911).

Murakami, who even made the MLB All-Star team this year, has already given the fans plenty of other incredible feats of strength. But doing (literal) damage to the scoreboard in the rival team’s ballpark might just be Murakami’s best work yet.
