3:13 No man living or not has ever hit a baseball farther than Galarraga hit that ball in Miami. That stadium is just too big and 30 more feet and he would’ve hit it out. Gotta be 580
Thomes traveled insanely far, probably at least 580 feet, wasn't even measurable because it left the park and kept going. I have been to many games at the Jake and if you go stand by the fence he cleared, it is crazy far. And he hit it way past that, it went over the fence out of the stadium, cleared 3 lanes of the street and landed in a field about 50 ft past the street. It's nuts.
Could you possibly find enough footage to make up something of the longest home runs by Frank Howard and Harmon Killebrew ? I think the younger generation would appreciate 2 of the masters of the longball in an era WITH NO STEROIDS.
The homerun hit by Jorge Soler in Game 6 of the 2021 World Series flew farther than any of the blasts shown in this video...by a considerable margin. Statcast's equipment was unable to calculate the distance so they just said that the homer was 439+ feet. They also said that it was 439 feet to the train tracks and...if you saw it...the ball was still ascending as it flew over the tracks, out of the ballpark, beyond the property and deep into the East Texas night. The ball wound up on the patio of an apartment a few blocks from the ballpark.
@@miketoonice No problem. I believe that Reggie Jackson's blast in the All-Star game hit the transformer on the roof of Tiger Stadium...Soler's shot would've knocked the transformer off of the roof and into the traffic below
Eric Davis crushed Kingman's record line driving HR over the roof top stands across the street from Wrigley one guy there said it was the fastest ever to leave wrigley in mph
Longest home runs in history? I think not! Nowhere are the shots by Mantle, or Aaron or Killebrew, let alone those from Babe Ruth. Maybe these are within the last ten years, but NOT in MLB history!!!
