I've heard stories of belle hitting the side of the dorms in left & I've seen Cresse short hop them, but the farthest I've seen/heard of was when Mike Zunino (FL) put one on the roof. Have never heard of a tiger putting one up there. Anybody got knowledge to the contrary?
ETA: it was Matt Laporta & the ball is the only one I've heard of that landed on the roof of the dorms, lol
This is the game if anybody can find footage

Eddy Furniss hit one that they're still looking for.

Believe Bo Jackson's may still be the longest but during bp the dorms, and even tiger stadium were often hit on the bounce

Thought Zunino's bomb was in the new Box. I know I watched him hit one in the new Box that was as far as any ball I've ever seen hit. Right after friends bitched about LSU balls falling short at the track due to the bats. Then BOOM...Guess he didn't have any trouble with the new bats.

Y'all are right, it wasn't Zunino. It was the other big basher UF had a couple years before. Anyone? He put it on the roof. Remember watching it on tv. Showed an aerial shot of it sitting near an AC vent

Back in the 80's Palmero launched the longest I ever saw and I went to many games.
