The Philadelphia Phillies beat up on the woeful Colorado Rockies on Monday night, notching a 9-3 victory that included a titanic solo blast by Kyle Schwarber that served as the 300th homer of his career. The ninth-inning missile featured an exit velocity of 109.3 mph and traveld 466 feet before denting the facade of Coors Field's third deck.

While this is a tremendous accomplishment for the 32-year-old slugger, the most important thing is that everyone is OK as no unlucky fan found themselves the path of the rocket.
