Who hit the longest home run, and how far did he hit it?

 

[Yankees2772]

Mickey Mantle... 569?

 

[Oiler35]

Close, but no.

 

[cruzg24]

Mickey Mantle, 634ft.

 

[Oiler35]

No, shorter than Yankees2772's guess, but not by much.

 

[cruzg24]

Oh I remember now, it was 565ft.

 

[Oiler35]

Very close, but no.

 

[Yankees2772]

Well, I know that there was no sure-fire way to measure HRs back then. Mantle's bomb at Briggs Stadium (Detroit) is rumored to have traveled an estimated 643 feet, but that is usually discounted by most historians. The next highest is also Mantle, at 565. I'm not sure what # you're looking for.

 

[Oiler35]

I had 560 as my official number.
But I'll accept 565 now.

Go ahead Frontpage.
