Thursday night's contest between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays was a slugfest, featuring seven home runs in total, but none traveled as far as Steven Souza Jr.'s sixth-inning bomb.

The 27-year-old outfielder demolished a Jonathan Holder offering 461 feet off the sports bar in deep center field, the longest homer at Yankee Stadium since Raul Ibanez's 477-foot drive on May. 22, 2009, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

It was the second dinger of the night for Souza Jr., and his 15th of the season.
