A ball's-eye view of Monday night's ridiculously long Mark Reynolds home run

In a 7-3 Cleveland victory over Oakland on Monday night, Indians infielder Mark Reynolds drilled a homer to left field in the bottom of the fifth. The ball travelled nearly 460 feet -- in fact, Reynolds tied himself for the 15th-longest home run of the season.

460 feet certainly sounds far, but just how far is it? For one thing, 460 feet is roughly the height of the Great Pyramid of Giza. It's also approximately the length of 76 clones of Mark Reynolds lying end to end.

But this photo might be the best way to comprehend the power that propelled that shot: here's the view of home plate from the very spot where Reynolds' AL-leading 10th home run touched down.

And no, those aren't ants dressed in baseball uniforms.
