Given the rf porch is about 47 feet, Id say about 147 feet total.

No matter what Tim McCarver says, there's no way that Yankees Stadium HR went further than the HR he hit off Troy Percival in the World Series. That's the only HR ball I've seen where the cameras completely lost track of the ball because it was impossible to tell how far it went. That ball might still be in orbit today.

That's the very moment Brad Lidge's career ended

Albert broke him.

Best part of that video is the ump tossing the pitcher a new ball almost immediately.

Reggie Jackson's bomb in old Tiger Stadium for the '71 All Star game was a line drive that was still rising when it hit a section of lights above the stadium.

Didn't Mantle hit one out of the stadium, or was that just a Seinfeld episode?

I don't think anyone dismisses his talent. There is, however, an argument to be made over whether to allow known cheaters into the HOF. Joe Jackson, Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, etc are unquestionably some of the GOAT players. It just depends on whether one feels their indiscretions should bar HOF enshrinement.
