re: Furthest Homerun at the Box

I was witness to some of those bombs. There were shots that looked as if that had a legit chance on being upper deck in FCS. That was some fun shite to watch.

It was awesome. I just wanted to prove the point of how lethal the bats during the mid to late 90's time period.

Maybe not the furthest but, certainly the biggest.

But, that was Roesenblatt , not the box.

Brandon Larson Hit one over the lights in left feild that still hasnt came down!!
Eddie Furniss Hit a couple also that went over Nicholson and one hopped the ATH BLD

Lyle Mouton def. won this

cresse hit some long hr.furniss hit some too.lol larson was a beast.jacque jones from usc hit 3 in a game.

Billy Cannon Jr. hit a couple over the light standard in LF onto the apts. when he was in H.S.

There have been so many long home runs its tough to recall which one went the furthest.

Without a doubt though the HARDEST hit ball I saw at the Box was not even a home run. Frank Thomas hit a double off the top of the wall that was a line drive that never got higher than the top of the fence. It was so loud when it hit the wall I thought the fence would come down.

Mouton hit one into the third deck in the Superdome one year.

i remember an old LSU player telling me that Jeff Winchester hit on his SR year in HS at an LSU camp that was the furtherest ball he had seen hit out at Alex Box in his 5 years there.

Are yall calling the bats of the 90s lethal b/c they were -5 or because of what they were made out of?

I talked with a player who was on both the 1996 and 1997 teams and he told me that he used a -3 along with many of the other starters even though a -5 was legal. Alot of guys liked the heavier bat.
