Glenallen Hill:

Examples of his massive power include:

* Being the first player at Safeco Field to hit a (batting practice) pitch out of the stadium and onto S Royal Brougham Way, the street immediately to the north of the Mariners' ballpark.
* Once hitting a home run that landed on the rooftop of a building across Waveland Avenue behind the left field side of Wrigley Field. It is believed that this is the only time a home run has landed on the roof of any building neighboring the outfield bleachers of this ballpark.
* During another game as a Cub at Wrigley Field, he hit another home run that landed on Kenmore Avenue past a building across the street—a truly "Kingmanesque" blast, one of the longest if not the longest hit to left field in Wrigley Field history.
* Once was denied a time out, even after stepping out of the batters box. The pitcher continued to throw the pitch, and Hill swung while walking into the batter's box and hit a double.
* Broke his bat on a check swing even though his bat never even made contact with the ball.
* While a member of the New York Yankees, Hill once hit a home run with only one hand on the bat
