2:22 if you notice the cameraman starts to focus on the lower part of the deck ready to capture a typical home-run and has to readjust back to the upper part of the upper deck!

it was coors field tho

496 at Coors, 476 in Miami

bet you couldnt even hit it that far​@@aers8127

It's because the elevation is so high?

notice how it says stat cast era...

Pete Incaviglia for the Tiger's hit one up at the top of the light tower in left, similar to Manny Ramiraz's blast..

@alexh8613 I was always under the impression that Babe Ruth had the longest home run. Then again I don't watch baseball and have no idea what a StatCast is.

He hit a homerun without color tv?

Definitely one of the absolute longest home runs I've seen footage of, amazing how far that thing went...

This is the longest home run, visually, I've ever seen. I've never seen a baseball hit harder. He absolutely obliterated it.

I think they originally called it 572.

@@peterz22thomas5 Why not 600? It never traveled 529 feet let alone 572.

He hit one in Tampa that probably would have broken records, but we’ll never know because of that dumb stadium. Multiple people said it was the hardest ball they’ve ever seen hit. Whatever happened to that guy?

He hit some monster shots. I was at a game where he hit a homerun ball across Waveland and down Kenmore.

I remember that monster home run and some "experts" were trying to estimate it went about 450 feet. Teammate Mark Grace said, "450 feet my fanny"!

Only ball I've ever seen hit onto one of those roofs. That was Hill + steroids + 30 mph wind. What a shot!

Remember, Glenallen Hill's (Cubs) shot that bounced off the rooftops across the street?

No home run ever went 530 feet. That, along with Mantle hitting a 550 foot homer, are myths. It's likely neither of them hit a 500 foot homer during their careers.

Man, I wish there was footage of that first one he hit outta Dodgers Stadium in '69.

@Bear A Tone Line drives don't travel farther than fly balls. They're lower to the ground by definition.

​@N Ig The more significant difference is the exit velocity. You see how these are all hit 105+ mph off the bat. Otherwise it's just a pop-up.

@@KTF0Stanton stronger!😂

Yes Sir , Yankee fan from way back... Most of todays juiced up big hitters couldn't carry Mantles jock.. Did it with 2 bad wheels and after effects of too much drink..Childhood hero.. Todays players meh!!!

I'm from Philly and that would be Veterans Stadium. Willie Stargell has the longest HR hit there. They marked the seat with a "S". Simmons slammed some as well...

I've always heard that Mickey Mantle hit one that folks said went all the way to the pearly gates where Saint Peter put it away

I was a 16 year old baseball enthusiasts when I watched the 1989 ALCS game where Jose Canseco hit one into the upper deck and off of the big plexiglass window. That one measured 540 feet at Toronto's old Skydome 😳34 years later, and it's still the longest homer that I have ever seen.

STEROIDS. Doesn't count.

Don't worry about it, They're till looking for it.

I’m a Cubs fan who enjoyed the McGwire/Sosa chase. I’ll attest I’ve never seen anything like McGwire hitting BP. He was hitting balls on the roof of old Busch stadium and they were rolling off the back 🤯

Who cares? McGwire was a cheater.

It never went 550 feet. That's a myth.

The old numbers are not at all accurate. There is no way they could measure trajectory, ball speed, wind, angle, etc.. Past distance estimates are irrelevant. I remember hearing numbers like 600 ft back in the day. No effing way. These guys are fitter and stronger than ever and they seem to max out around 500 ft, give or take.

It hit a transformer in right center. The ball got out of the park in a hurry. When Reggie got all of one, he really launched it.

​@@mplslawnguy3389 Wrong.

​@@mplslawnguy3389 Mantle hit one over the Tiger Stadium roof, across the street, and into a lumberyard. That's 500+ feet.

@@mplslawnguy3389 All those peripheral measurements are totally irrelevant...their is only one that matters, the distance. Even in those times there were at least two options for attaining the measurement, one being with a surveyors instrumentation.

The only puddy you ever caught. 😺😊😅😂

@@TheBatugan77 Shhhh! That's suppose to be our secret.

On a upward trajectory and something like 563 ft.

Josh Gibson is the only one to ever hit one clear out of Yankee Stadium.

@@lorimcquinn3966 Myth. It likely never went 500 feet.

Four of Norm Cash's home runs cleared the roof In the old Tiger Stadium. Jim Northrop did it a couple of times.

Kirk Gibson cleared that roof a couple times. I was there when Champ Summers had one bounce off the roof and back onto the field.

@@dodgerssuck498 Cron, yes (09/09/22). The Story homer was later confirmed to be less than 500 feet.

Used to watch McGwire and Canseco hit BP...Canseco would absolutely destroy some of those balls.

Bendalton - they call this kind of thinking "restorative nostalgia".

No home run has went 550-575 feet. It's likely that no homer has ever went further than 510 feet.

@@brentrosencrans3968 Joey Meyer 582ft; Josh Gibson 580ft; Jim Thome 511; Darryl Strawberry 525; Dave Kingman 530ft; Adam dunn 535ft; Willie Stargell 535ft; Reggie Jackson 539ft; Mickey Mantle 565ft; Babe Ruth 575ft... I could do this all day. During the golden age of baseball and before, they never really kept track of how far distances were hit, so it is pretty much estimated form old video. Babe Ruth has dozens that are estimated to be in the 550ft range. Likewise, several of Willie Mays' HR's are estimated to be in the 525-550ft range. Back when the Polo Grounds were open, dead center field fence was like 505. and Ruth hit over it on occasion. After the 1923 remodeling which shortened center field to like 470, there were 5 hr's in history hit over that fence, that "cleared it by considerable margins" (Schoolboy Rowe, Luke Easter, Joe Adcock, Hank Aaron and Lou Brock). All of these are estimated in the 530+ft range, Hank Aarons is easily over 550ft. Do you even follow baseball? Again, back before the 1960's, batters used bigger, longer heavier bats, as the average pitch speeds were slower. When they connected with these, physics takes over and bye bye. There are several videos on KZfaq of batters doing tests with these different types of bats made of different types of hardwood. The results are pretty amazing. Even the sound of the ball getting smoked by those heavier harder bats is deeper and more awesome than those of today. Anyway, I could do this all day, but I gotta run. Hey, I heard your mommy calling. She needs you to come up from the basement, time for some string cheese and a juice box and to have your diaper checked....

@@bendalton5221 I once blindly believed all those homers you listed. Meyer. Kingman, Mantle, Jackson, etc. It appears you are emotionally invested in these distances that are guesses at best. Batters used bigger bats is your explanation for longer homers along with pitch speeds being slower? I'm not trying to be mean or condescending but you appear to not know much about physics. Question: did you ever stop to think that all those enormous home run distances you listed all were conveniently done before they could be verified? Since stat cast started in 2015 there have been nearly 50k home runs. Of that, 3 were 500+ feet. None went beyond 505 feet and two were in Denver. If what you are believing is true then during the 2021 ASG in Denver we should have seen 600 foot homers, but we didn't. The best of the best combined for 4 home runs beyond 500 feet. Remember, they were getting meatballs thrown to them in Denver. Juan Soto's went the farthest at 520 feet. You can attempt to mock me all you want with the 3rd grade comments, but in the end you are upset that your fairy tale of 550 foot homers was challenged and even experts now say those distances were made up and not true.

@@brentrosencrans3968 you're missing the point, home run distances decreased with the advent of smaller lighter bats. I could explain the physics of it to you but clearly you wouldn't believe it anyway so I won't waste my time. Has nothing to do with the quality of the hitters or pitchers. A ball traveling 85mph will go farther if contacted with a heavier bat than a lighter bat hitting a ball going 94mph. And I would love to see what "experts" you are talking about. I take my info from sources form countless books and sources I have read (I am a geek and love to read and research, not that you would know what that is, and I have yet to come across "expert" testimony that discredits older baseball like that - if anything, just the opposite. It is modern study of older info that is giving light to some of these distances, it isn't estimates from like the 1950's or something like that). Anyway, just go away already, you believe what you do, and I'll believe the testimony of people that actually know what they are talking about when it comes to baseball. Go do some liberal things and bother others, or whatever it is you do. Cheers, and as always, have a nice day!

Up your 'back alley'. 😮😯😳😱

Im not sure how they determined that its 495 feet, but that angle makes it look further than the rest to me

I’ve seen Jason Bay hit one over the end of the Monster near CF but not nearly as far as this one. Also, Manny’s home run that hit that light tower was insane but that was halfway to the foul pole at least.

"the dude" u don't know who Sano is?? bro hits nukes free agent last year but I think his career's about done, decent-ish 5 or so year stretch

Dove

I would too.

I hate to be a pooper of parties (because I'm also a Twins fan) but... anything before StatCast is pretty much dependent on stadium seat home run measurements being accurate, which... they often were not. Often stadium seat home run distances were calculated based on nothing more than the architectural drawings, which could differ by as much as 10 feet from the actual placement of the seats in the rows. So unfortunately, any home run distance taken before StatCast is likely to be an exaggeration.

ok but Killebrew was a beast anyway you look at it. and a really nice modest guy!@@katherineberger6329

@@katherineberger6329 Finally someone is thinking. All these 550+ foot homers Mantle, Kingman, McGwire, Canseco, etc. likely didn't travel further than 510 feet tops (and none were in Denver). There have been nearly 50k homers since stat cast started and 3 have went beyond 500 feet and none beyond 505 (2 of those in Denver). I think people just like to believe these outrageous home run distances without thinking.
