Spring training is well underway and there are plenty of new faces on new teams.
One of those is first baseman Josh Bell who just signed a two-year, $33 million deal with the Cleveland Guardians.
Bell has always been a dangerous slugger, and he sure showed Cleveland that when he blasted his first home run of spring training.
But this wasn’t just any home run – this was the best sounding home run of all-time.
And no, that is NOT an exaggeration.
Take a listen for yourself…
