The longest one I saw at the Box was hit by Brad Wilkerson of Florida. Hit it right out of right field. It appeared as the ball was still rising when it left the park. Further I have ever seen was hit by Eddy Furniss against SLU in Hammond. The ball didn't start dropping until it was in the pine trees behind the parking lot behind right field

If you get on Google Earth, scroll to the old Alex Box. You can click on TOOLS and the RULER. If you click on home plate and then drag the mouse pointer around ouside the outfield wall, you can see exactly how far it is to some of these locations from home plate.
Shortest distance from home plate to get it on top of one of the apartments is 540 ft going out in left field.
Shortest distance to the track parking lot is about 690 ft dead center.
Off the side of the admin building would be 600 ft going out of right field.
