    Piazza in his prime was by far the best opposite field HR hitter on this list. The way to know he was really on a tear was when a majority of his HRs went to right-center.

    I'd have to go with Manny. He probably can't spell McCovey Cove, but he sure would hit a hell of a lot of balls there. Either him or Piazza.

    Vlad seems to hit a lot of home runs to right but mostly I think that is because those home runs are balls he either hit off his shoes or over his head.

    Vlad, with 351 career HRs, has hit 41 to right and 24 to right-center.

    He had that in one of his first posts.

    Yeah, Piazza, in his prime, had great power to right and right-center. I was always amazed looking at his hitting charts during the mid- and late '90s.
