re: Longest HR in Alex Box (old and new) history?

Will harris hit the farthest ive seen in person at the old alex box

Furniss hitting one in a midweek game that landed on Nicholson.

Pretty sure this HR almost hit my car as I drove by listening on radio.

Frank Thomas end of discussion

Brad Wilkerson hit a Bomb for Florida

Wes grisham actually cleared the married dorms in the early nineties. Midweek game.

It was Del Unser.

Few of you will know who that it without googling,....and those who google will say "nah". But it's the correct answer.

All those mentioned were great shots. Hardest hit that ive personally seen has been mentioned......Brad Wilkerson for UF hit one that went across nicholson and into TS parking lot. But what everyone so far has failed to mention was THAT moonshot was actually a foul ball. He followed it up with a subsequent HR over right field fence and into the Box parking lot. But the moonshot was a foul ball.

Runner up for me personlly was Brad Cresse against USL. I was standing near the left field foul pole and it cleared the bleachers and the parking and the fences and landed near the married housing. I dont recall if it hit the building or not, but it was awful friggin close.

Longest ones I remember were Aaron Boone (USC) in a Saturday regional elimination game, Jacques Jones (USC) and Frank Thomas.

I personally witnessed Mouton hit married student housing. Him that little fire plug Italian guy and Hymel all hit some bombs. Cresse hit one to dead center once that was a crazy long shot.

Lots of embellishments in here ..

We have about 12 people hitting married student housing and crushing balls over the old AB CF wall and hitting Nicholson on the fly. I've been a season ticket holder for over 25 years now, and my family had them before that, and I have never seen married student housing come close to being hit ..
