Thanks to the home run barely staying fair and well, Big Papi being Big Papi, it was a while before Ortiz reached home plate. According to TaterTrotTracker.com, which has been timing home run trots since 2010, Ortiz's home run trot took 32.91 seconds, nearly 1.5 seconds longer than the previous record.

Here is the home run.
