In all of baseball history, you'd be hard pressed to find a statistically weirder career than Adam Dunn's. The king of the Three True Outcomes, Dunn was both incredibly consistent and full of outliers, and his efforts saved the stamina of countless fielders who got to stay exactly where they were for most of his plate appearances.

On August 10, 2004, at a home game against the LA Dodgers, Dunn launched a 535 foot home run, which is tied as the 4th longest home run in MLB history. This home run left the stadium and bounced from the street into the Ohio River. The Ohio River was declared a border between Ohio and Kentucky, so if anything entered the river, it was in Kentucky. This meant that Adam Dunn had not only hit the longest home run in Great American Ball Park history, but was also the first MLB player to hit a baseball into another state.
Saying that he crushed the ball is an understatement.
