Longest Home Run?

[sgnilloccaz]

I read it was Mickey Mantle at 565 feet?

Yea that is the longest I've heard of, I'm not sure how much I believe that it went that far though or how it was calculated back then. I have hit longer though on videogames.

yeah it was in washington in the late 50s (maybe off chuck stobbs)..i used to have a baseball card w/the diagram of the HR

I believe that is the homer where the term "tape measure shot" comes from, because a tape measure was used to measure the distance the ball traveled.

All-Star Baseball '00 for N64....


Matt Williams + Aluminum Bat + Facing Nolan Ryan + in the "Field of Dreams" cornfield = 800+ foot bombs.
