MLB: 500+ Foot Homeruns 

Should rename this video ------> MLB: Confused Cameramen.

Hitting a ball out of a professional league stadium might be the coolest thing you can do as a baseball player

I remember that shot by Mcgwire against Randy Johnson. Holy smokes that was deep! Listening to Dave Neihaus on the play by play brings back a lot of memories. RIP Dave. You were the best!

I've been on that part of the Rogers Centre (formerly Skydome) & that spot where Canseco hit it at is so far up from home plate it's beyond ridiculous.

The Darryl Strawberry one really gets me. Skinny dude, he looked like he just got a piece of it, his swing looked downright casual, and he nails it for 525 feet. That is just incredible to me.

Ahh the golden days of baseball, when steroid pumped madmen hit 450+ft HRs on a regular basis

Glenallen Hill was one of the most powerful hitters of that era, but he was so inconsistent that he never really put up numbers reflective of his potential. But that dude had some of the hardest hits I saw as a kid. Great line drive hitter.

Mickey Mantle was five 11 1/2 weighed 190 pounds show of muscle natural muscle as his home runs were further than all of them. He coined the term tape measure home run.

7:10 Canseco: “You take an extra injection today?” McGwire: “Yep.”

I could hit these if I had new batteries in my Wii controller.

The Kingman home run at 5:25 was during the famous 23-22 game vs the Phillies in 1979. He hit it off of Ron Reed in the 6th.

4:03 One of the only times the circle has been necessary. Thank you producers.

Strawberry really did have one of the most effortless swings ive ever seen. A guy that skinny has no business hitting a ball more than 500 feet.

Much respect to Darryl Strawberry for having that kind power without being juiced up. Well at least not on roids'.

The Strawberry homerun was aided by an airflow from the Olympic Stadium ventalation system. It was in issue they had early in that season. Balls that were hit high flew like crazy.

I was at the game in Toronto when Canseco hit that bomb off of Flanagan. I was sitting in RF and the ball (as you could see on the clip) went out into LF. That ball not only reached the upper deck, I recall it hitting a seat flush/hard and bouncing back like it still had tons of steam on it or as if it were still rising. I was in shock more than anything. Not surprised it ranks as the furthest home run, Canseco absolutely crushed that thing.

Steroids are one hell of a drug.

There’s a story behind #8 as well. I had a buddy that worked for the Indians and when they were remodeling the scoreboard back in the 2000s, they uncovered a dent in the metal right where McGuire hit that home run.

Something about that Canseco shot is just incredible. So much power and leverage on that swing. Unreal.

Growing up in Cleveland so many people didn’t appreciate the monsters we had in Thome, Manny, Sexon, and many others. Felt like each game you’d get to see at least one monster shot deep.

That Galarraga shot in Miami was incredible. Not far from the roof

6:40 is my favorite. How can you not love Dave Niehaus calling home runs, for either team?

No one can convince me Kingmam's blast isnt the longest. Clearing Waveland and landing three houses down on Kenmore is absolutely nuts.

"What a shot by McGwire." The perfect description.

Fielder and Vaughn were powered by Oscar Meyer and Bud Light

700 ft HR by Jr. on Ken Griffey Jr. Major League Baseball for Nintendo 64. “Call me Junior!”

I got to see McGwire in a batting practice during the ‘98 season. He was hitting balls not just over the outfield fences but completely OUT OF KAUFMAN STADIUM. One of the most impressive things I have ever seen tbh

Growing up 15 minutes from Yankees Stadium I’ve been to well over 500 ball games and have seen tremendous home runs there, the longest I can remember was Thome hitting a shot to right center. Mike Cameron with the Mariners had to hit a 550 ft shot to straight away Center. Paul Kenerco to the upper deck in left, so loud it sounded like a pistol shot, Shane Spence in 98 same thing a gun shot 💥 BANG!! Many many others but those stand out!

Reggie Jackson’s homer at Tiger Stadium was still going up when it hit the transformer on top of the roof.

Dave Niehaus calling #2 on this list with excitement against his own team is amazing. Most people would be too much of a homer to acknowledge how insane it was just because it was against their team. RIP

These are fun to watch. Regardless of players eating hot dogs or taking BALCO muscle sauce. George Herman did this fairly regularly. How unfortunate we do not have Sports Center for his career. The longest home run I saw live was when Dave Kingman played for Oakland. It was launched and Ron Guidry knew it.

That McGwire home run was a classic example of "You don't have to swing as hard as you can" logic. He put bat-on-ball to a fastball and let physics do the rest.

McGwire in his Testosterone prime looked like a man that could peel the skin off a baseball with his bare hands. Crazy strong.

Jim Thome 511' oppo. You have to be kidding

“It went out everywhere, right over the top” One of my favorite calls ever

I saw that Glenalan (sp) Hill Homer on wgn as a teenager. I just remember my jaw dropping as it landed on the roof. Up to that point it was the longest, coolest home run I'd ever seen as it happened on television. Before this one my favorite had been the Canseco blast in the skydome in Toronto. It was in the ALCS. Not sure what year it was. 88 89 or 90.

Darryl strawberry has some serious power in that skinny frame

I was at the game in Toronto during the playoffs when Canseco hit the shot off Flanagan!! I was sitting across from third base and I consider it one of the greatest sporting moments I ever witnessed !! Into the fifth deck, didnt know it was humanly possible.

I remember Jose Canseco hit a HR off Nolan Ryan (100 mph fastball). The shot went over the shortstop playing over 2nd base in a line drive. I thought for a moment the short stop might have a chance, then it went up from there. I thought the center fielder might have a chance, but it just kept going. Then I thought, I might have a chance (center field seats), but it just kept going on a linear path (line drive). When it went over my head, I heard like what sounded like a fighter jet sound. It made a shoooooshhhhing sound right over my head. I was ready to hit the floor if needed, because there is no way I was going to attempt to catch it, at that speed.

That Canseco home run was hit at SkyDome in Toronto in the 1989 ALCS. I was a kid sitting in those 500 level seats when the ball landed near me.

I was at the Manny game. Staying in Boston for a minute, wanted to see The Pahk. Scalped awesome tickets 25 rows up from 1st base. Manny hit two absurd bombs that game. Hit Wrigley field earlier on that road trip, Sosa put two into the street that day. Hit old Yankee stadium on the way home, 2 weeks before 9-11. That was an epic road trip.

I think Reggie's HR in the '71 All Star game is the only blast by a player who didn't have a bowl of supplements for breakfast every morning.

I don't know if it is still there but for years #6 was marked with a different colored seat in the upper deck Marlins Park. When I lived in Ft. Lauderdale my buddy and I would sit up there, drink beer all game and heckle the other team. When you see how far that spot from the plate is it is freaking amazing.

What's surprising is nobody talks about Willie Stargell's 535-ft HR on May 20th, 1978 at Montreal's Olympic Stadium. That ball went to right field, to a narrow band of red seats (all other seats were blue or yellow), and the seat where the ball landed was changed to yellow...!

LOL, Dave Niehaus makes these other commentators sound like they're half asleep... my ohhhh my!!!

This highlight reel brought to you by steroids

Awesome shots. Was fun to watch. Great video

Daryl’s swing was sweet. Teddy ballgame like. I remember watching the asg when Reggie went roof. Awesome.

Mo Vaughn is one of the most underrated power hitters in the history of baseball. He was fun to watch!

Dave Niehaus has the most energy by a mile, and the home run was against his team. Amazing

Thome,& The Straw Man were probably the only two modern era players in this video that were legit.

I remember that mo Vaughn homer at Shea. The longest I've ever seen in a game live. Vladimir Guerrero hit one in the third deck in Montreal in 2001 that was estimated at 502 I believe. McGwire has to have the most 475 foot home runs ever, at least 25

The Big Cat was an absolute monster. What a gorgeous swing.

Is nobody going to talk about that beautiful sound at 4:52 when Galarraga makes contact? My god. Just from that sound you know that ball was hit into space.

I’m a hardcore Dodgers fan but even I was jumping around like a little kid when Barry Bonds hit a majestic home run out of Giants stadium and into the bay. I was on the right field catwalk and the ball sailed 70 feet above my head. It was spectacular!!!

Was at the Dunn one, still have my ticket stub, we sat behind first base that game. He hit two others probably even further in batting practice same spot.

The attitude era of baseball. Grew up watching most of these guys and it was amazing.

Wow these balls are destroyed!!!

Great curation of clips!

Everyone wants to forget about Canseco. The guy could absolutely demolish a baseball.

6:42 how could anyone not see something was wrong with McGwire? Just look at him in the '89 series and him in 2000. He looks like a freak of nature

Back when Nelson Cruz was on the M's He launched a ball out of SafeCo field during BP. It was just left of center field. Easily a 600 foot shot. That field is huge. All the early birds wandering the stadium were in disbelief and slack jawed.

i saw Frank Thomas hit the furthest ball i have ever seen at Fenway park near the end of his career. I could not believe how high and far the thing went. It was nuts. I've seen Manny and Ortiz hit some really long ones too being a Red Sox fan who has been to Fenway numerous times

Imagine how much torque they generate to hit a ball that far. Much respect to the guys who did it without drugs

In a backyard wiffle ball game, I once belted a homer that was guesstimated at 119 feet. It was an historic monster blast!! 🤟

Forgot Kirk Gibson’s blast in 1983 off of Boston’s Mike Brown. It was measured @ 524 ft. It was hit in old Tiger Stadium. It cleared the right field roof and settled on the roof of the lumber yard across Trumbull Ave. A truly prodigious shot.

I'm no baseball scout, but the first time I saw Mark McWire swing, I thought to myself "that guy has the most beautiful swing I ever seen". And...well you know. True story. :)

Jim Thome had such raw natural power. His hands were quick and his swing was effortless

I love Reggie Jackson's bat flip! It has incredible swagger!

Gallaraga's was an absolute moonshot. ESPN's stat tracker placing that at 468 feet is beyond laughable - even to the eye. That almost left a football stadium. There is no universe where that is a sub-500 foot home run.

Gives “exclusive list of players” a whole new meaning….😜🤣💪🏼

I remember the Canseco shot in Toronto. For the longest time he was the only player to reach the upper deck at the SkyDome... and he was a visiting player!

Galarraga’s grand slam was the most impressive to me. Wow

2:40 I remember watching this game live as a kid (huge Braves fan, but I also loved Mo Vaughn)..still one of most impressive homers I've ever seen ..moon shot

CJ Cron just entered the list with his 504 foot shot 9/9/22. Galaraggas shot was the longest home run. Originally estimated at 579 feet.

Glenallen Hill was a legend on every team he played for. The baggy jersey hiding the 💪 underneath.

Mark McGuire hitting a Randy Johnson fastball to knock himself and Jose Canseco in is the most 90’s baseball thing ever 😊

6:40 The best call "That was belted, and I mean belted deep to left field!" 2:07 The worst call was the one where the guy didn't even acknowledge the distance. Adam Dunn's home run.

Miss those guys belting homeruns. Exciting times.

I was at the game where Mark hit the Budweiser sign at Jacob's Field. It was insane.

Mickey mantle hit a ball 575 feet. No steroids . Greatest power hitter of all time

I find it amazing that Mickey Mantle hit a homerun 562 feet and was 5'11" and weighed 195 pounds!

Man i miss the old days growing up watching these legends

Irregardless of Mark being on the juice. His swing seemed so effortlessly to generate so much POWER !

Minute 4:48 The homerun big ever in history...The Big Cat Galarraga.. the longest in history and without steroids

brings back memories when I was 12 years old in 74 or 75 when Dave Kingman hit three monstrous homers at Dodger Stadium......

Remember kids, cheat.

that Canseco homer was still on an upward trajectory when it got to the 5th level in Toronto, no telling how far that could have traveled, 540 is lowballing it

No way in hades Glenallen Hill’s ball was 500 ft. The ball landed on the damn roof across the street from the outfield. I’d guess more like 550’.

You guys don't remember Dick Allen on the Chicago White Sox?? In the 70s he hit a Homer up on the roof of the old Comisky park. Had to be 525 or more??

I used to be an usher at Tiger Stadium, and I knew people who were at that All Star Game. The HR Jackson hit may have been the longest homerun EVER hit at Tiger Stadium....no one had hit a transformer before he did; and it never happened again.

I don’t care what anyone says. That ball last year in Seattle that Shohei hit to the upper deck was insane. It had to be further then it posted.

Boy, so many of those players must really enjoy their Wheaties.

Willie Stargell hit a mammoth shot too. I miss baseball.

Cool highlight video. I don’t particularly like baseball, but this was a fun watch.

I saw Griffey jr hit one so hard once that I’ll remember it forever. A screamer that appeared, from the cheap seats, to not break 20ft high. It barely apexed before it hit the seats

Feel the POWAAHH! Roids or no roids baseball was special to watch during this time.

Bonds HR vs Ted Lilly at the old Yankee Stadium must be close.

Seeing johnson pitch to mcgwire for a belted homer before he ever got to the cardinals is peak baseball

I don't care what anybody says, Darryl Strawberry's homerun was the longest ever hit in the history of this planet. He hit "the top of the stadium" ...nufsaid.
