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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

Steroids are one hell of a drug.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Fielder and Vaughn were powered by Oscar Meyer and Bud Light

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Jim Thome 511' oppo. You have to be kidding

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.

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.

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...!

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.

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

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

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

Darryl strawberry has some serious power in that skinny frame

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’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!!!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 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!

Dave "Kong" Kingman is my favorite player of all time and I feel HoF worthy. I remember that '79 season very well and saw 3 HR sail over our heads that day! Had Kong not been hurt and missed so much time I have no doubt he would have had at least 60 that year if not more. He did this without steroids! Look at how lanky and non muscular he was. Pure power!

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.

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

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'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. :)

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

Wow these balls are destroyed!!!

Was at Skydome when Jim Thome hit one into the mid-deck Centerfield restaurant. The waitress dropped her tray of food ! Musta been over 500. Shawn Green actually smiled in the outfield as he watched Thome round the bases. May have been the only time miserable Green ever smiled as a Blue Jay.

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.

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.

This highlight reel brought to you by steroids

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Willie Stargell hit one in Veterans stadium in Philly in the 600 level. It was estimated close to 600 feet (583??). There was a marker up in right field. Willie McCovey hit one in Connie Mack stadium, I think it is still traveling....

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......

So many tape measure shots that were never recorded.....I once saw 2 in the same game by the same guy. The second one cleared the roof of Tiger Stadium. IIRC, the first one was nearly as long. I remember the great George Kell calling the plays on TV. Was in 1968. Both had to be over 500 feet. When he hit the second one, Kell hollered "there she goes again!!" That "same guy" was 6 foot 7 inch, 270lb Frank Howard. Nobody EVER looked as menacing at the plate as Howard. He was on a tear then, and set a HR record that still stands: 10 home runs in 20 at bats in 7 days!!! Can you imagine Howard on steroids??! Former team mate Jim Gosger said he was playing left field when Howard hit a line drive HR in Seattle. Gosger said Howard hit the ball so hard on a straight line that he only took one step, and the ball had already crashed off the back of a seat in the left field bleachers!!

Oh, all right ... I'll tell the story again. I once saw Eddie Murray hit a home run in the Metrodome when he was with the Orioles. He pulled it to right and you missed it if you blinked. It got out in roughly two seconds and hit the cement beneath the upper deck and proceeded to bounce back and hit just short of the infield line. Might have even been inside that line; it all happened so fast, and I've never found a replay. You could hear the disbelief and laughter in the stadium when the Tale of the Tape announced 386 feet. That thing would have traveled 600 feet into a breeze.

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

Nice comprehensive list. Tough to get footage of the Babe's 575 foot shot. Willie Stargell had a 535 footer also. I remember watching Strawberry take batting practice up in Montreal and he was launching them into orbit.

Noce to see 'Big Cat' Gallarage in action again. Loved having him in Atlanta while we did.

Only 8nplayers have hit the ball Over the roof here in detroit, and his Almost did at 500+ ft so what distance was the 8 that went over?

Dave Nicholson hit a 573 foot home run in Comiskey Park (out of the stadium) in 1964. A wretched hitter, though. Around the same time, Willie Horton was putting baseballs into orbit in Detroit. The man's power was amazing. And Killebrew, naturally. I recall him driving one out of Fenway and into the street that was measured at 540 feet. The quality of Red Sox pitching undoubtedly contributed to the feat.

I miss the steroid era 😢. Was fun watching mammoth shots every nite as a young kid 🤷🏽‍♂️😂. TBH, if it wasn’t for the steroid era, I would’ve never played baseball as a kid. Thank you McGwire, Canseco, Bonds, Palmeiro, Sosa, Manny, Tejada, Pudge Rodriguez, A-Rod, Giambi, Sheffield, Caminiti, and Griffey (although you were clean) and to the rest. I will never forget how fun the annual home run chases were.

I had a fascinating conversation with Adam Dunn in 2003 about steroids in baseball. He showed up to hang out with my high school baseball team my seior year for an hour b/c one of my football coaches coached him in HS. His estimate was that probably 2/3 of all players in pro ball at that time had likely touched steroids (or Andro) at some point in their career. His size was insane, 6'6" 285, like an NFL defensive end but out there smashing balls instead. 95-05 was such a interestingly entertaining era of baseball between the HR record chases and the steroid era. I was lucky to see Bonds tie the record with #70 in Houston, and that was no dinker, it was an emphatic 480 footer during the time he was barely getting pitched to, and I also got to see Mark Mcguire launch a ~475 footer in Houston in 96/97 plus throw up a handful of similar distances into the nosebleeds in the Astrodome during BP. Watching anything approaching 475" in person is a lifetime level memory.

Man i miss the old days growing up watching these legends

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

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’.

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

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

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??

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

I'm wanting to say that Greg Luzinski hit a 500-foot shot at the old Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia around 1978 or so, didn't he? And I know he hit at least two rooftop shots when he was the DH for the White Sox at the old Comiskey Park. They might not have been 500 foot shots, but awfully impressive nonetheless.

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.
