Damn
who hit that 450+ footer off Perez?
Overall it looks like Perez will be helped most by the new dimensions but that’s kind of obvious with his extreme fly ball tendancy.

the 460ft to left is Wilson Betemit at Shea
the 450ft to left-center is Garrett Atkins at Coors

“That ball wouldn’t have been out of a lot of parks.”
“Name one.”
“Yellowstone.”
I saw the really long one OIlie gave up to Adam Dunn in 2007 in person (hit well up the RF scoreboard, HitTracker put it at 439) and WOW, a ball would have to be absolutely CRUSHED to go significantly further than that one.

The Citfield Dimensions Don't Seem To...
… account for the higher walls.
Per Ben Shpigel “The left-field foul pole stands a relatively enticing 335 feet from home plate, but the distance to left-center jumps to 379 with a 15-foot wall. A 16-foot wall guards a sliver of straightaway center, which is 408 feet away, and right-center field measures 383 feet before angling in to 330 down the right-field line. The deepest part of the park, a nook in right-center, is 414 feet from home.” SOURCE: (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/07/sports/baseball/07field.html)
