WATCH: Bote massacres baseball for 451-foot dinger that lands on Waveland Avenue

CHICAGO — With a titanic home run, Chicago Cubs third baseman David Bote smashed a two-run shot out of Wrigley Field and onto Waveland Avenue for his sixth career dinger on Sunday. A 451-foot moonshot to left, the homer blazed off Bote's bat and sailed out of the stadium for one of the Cubs' longest home runs of the season.

Scoring Cubs right fielder Jason Heyward and putting Chicago up 5-0 over the Cincinnati Reds in the third inning, Bote's yard ball came on a fastball thrown by Reds starting pitcher Homer Bailey. The Cubs' bullpen celebrated Bote's bomb with a rousing game of musical chairs. One lucky fan on Waveland Avenue garnered quite the souvenir by catching the two-run round-tripper.
