The 432-foot dinger was Carpenter's 19th homer of the year, his sixth this month and first since Aug. 14. It left his bat at 107 mph. And, just to reiterate: It tied the game after the D-backs had taken a one-run lead the frame prior, it was Carpenter's first hit since Aug. 17, it was a Giancarlo Stanton-esque trick shot ... I could go on. 

So, I ask you again: What is the best part about this home run?
