The St. Louis Cardinals' Triple-A stadium has a challenge for every hitter to try and hit the target in left field for a chance to let a fan walk away with a pickup truck.
No one has hit it yet, mainly because the fence is 360 feet away, and the target is beyond a seven-foot brick wall and a small hill.
But Miami Marlins prospect Destin Hood showed up and nearly hit it. He had the distance, but instead drilled the actual truck beside it.
