The top five homers of April starring, who else, Alex Rodriguez

Enter a world you didn't expect you'd ever see again, where Alex Rodriguez is the home-run king of April.

Yes, as bizarro as it might seem, A-Rod hit the longest home run of April. The almost-40-year-old with two bad hips, coming off a year's suspension. That guy. We'll dig into our usual list of the month's top homers below, but first we have to admit that you could put an asterisk on A-Rod's. (And not the reason you might expect).

The Stew uses ESPN's Hit Tracker Online's home-run data for this post, because it's been the go-to source for years. Now that MLB has launched Statcast, it's measuring everything. And Statcast says that Nelson Cruz's home run from earlier this week actually went further than A-Rod's. There's some obvious disagreement, since Cruz's doesn't rank in the top five on Hit Tracker's list.

For now, we're rolling with Hit Tracker, but we'll keep an eye on these things throughout the season.

1. ALEX RODRIGUEZ: APRIL 17, 477 FEET
Fitting that A-Rod, baseball's villain, would hit into the Captain Morgan deck at Tropicana Field. Ahoy, Pirate A-Rod.

Yes, Donaldson in the Rogers Centre is going to work out very nicely. Very nicely indeed.

Bust out your invisible parrots, folks, when Big Edwin E is circling the bases.
