Cubs outfielder Dexter Fowler had the biggest hit of his pro career with a 410 ft leadoff homer in the World Series to put the Cubs up 1-0 on Wednesday night. The speed off of the bat was 100.4 MPH and the apex was 113 ft.

Fowler is the first player in MLB history to hit a leadoff homer in a World Series Game 7.

He is also the first person to hit a leadoff homer in the World Series since 1960.

Here is a field video of the home run by Fowler.

Cubs fans were happy about Fowler's leadoff homer.
