First time I've seen this one - well done to the writer.

Tafoya Wins Slowest Home Run Trot of Year Award: Jose Tafoya takes home the prize for the slowest home run trot after injuring himself as a result of the homer. Tafoya hit the home run but did not realize that it had cleared the fence until he was past first base. hustling to try and beat a play at second, Tafoya tore his hamstring on his way around first. He was able to get to his feet and complete the trot in a turtle paced 40 seconds. 'I guess I don't know my own strength." Tafoya said. 'I need to pay more attention after I hit the ball, I guess.'

[Critical Mass]

I have no evidence to back up my case, but I would be willing to bet that at some point in history, someone took longer than 40 seconds.

Nonetheless, funny story
