Yeah, they told Mark Grace that it travelled 460 feet, and Grace said "460? I thought it was closer to 760". Over the fence, across the street, on top of a six- story apartment building.

Saw Josh Hamilton hit one in person that just sounded different. Ball is still in orbit. I imagine Stanton sounds similar.

That ball took Brad Lidge's career with it.

Ruth would send moon shots out dead center of the polo grounds. He also swung a 56 oz bat.

Everything I saw online was from 470 and deeper . Mark McGwire showed up on that video more than anyone. He had at least ten over 475
How far is judge hitting when he doesnt strike out?
One was randy Johnson on mark m and it was the loudest crack.
Kingman hit a bomb. Manny ,cecil, gibson ,jackson ,McGuire, bonds. They all had multiple monster shots.
Deepest in video was Jackson ,gibson ,McGwire

Someone for the Expos way back in the day hit one like 575 or something like that at their strange and cavernous Olympic stadium they used to play in

Brad Wilkerson hit a Foul Ball at The Box, I don't think it ever came down.

You may be referring to the prettiest homer on the whole video I watched. It was the only expos homer on the video and was the sweetest.
It was a 485 foot mammoth shot by Daryl strawberry that was smoother than any other on the video, by far.
It was the absolute sweetest swing that I've ever seen that went over 400 ft

I don't have actual distances, but I remember watching Cecil Fielder as a kid in the old Tigers Stadium hit bombs that would go up into the upper deck they had. I swear I remember him hitting a few up on the roof, or even out all together.
I could be misremembering, but he hit absolute bombs.
Yep, blast vs OAK

I was there, yeah he hit the damn thing halfway into the Tiger Stadium Parking lot across Nicholson. I remember Hawthorne saying that was the furthest ball he's ever seen hit at the Box (he was there for Bo Jackson/Joey Belle/Lyle Mouton/Gary Himel....) so he's seen a few.

He had the most 515 to 520s ever

Dave Kingman
It was in BP in the Astrodome in the early 80's, he hit one that hit the bottom third of the scoreboard (We Win), and absolute bomb. It sounded like a cannon when he hit it. Its been nearly 40 years and I can remember it like it was yesterday.

Jimmie Foxx and Mickey Mantle all-time.
Dave Kingman is one of the more-recent.
