I still say as far as sheer distance… McGwire at his peak is unmatched. Saw him go up EASILY three quarters up into the top deck at Miami’s old Pro Player stadium in BP. It was during that awesome 1998 season. Then digging one out of the dirt to go into that same upper deck for number 58… Most electrifying moment I’ve witnessed in sports.

I never knew he to the Rivera 464ft dead center. That's very impressive

Man, even in 1997 and with McGwire on the squad, the A's still couldn't sell out the Oakland Coliseum. LOL

@greendayrock hey man thanks for taking the time to these McGwire uploads one of my favs of all time this brings back memories.

5:51 Last A’s home run (354)

I think that was actually his 363rd career home run.

Can’t believe that the A’s missed having Mac the year after, when he broke the home run record. Canseco also had a career-high with 46 HRs in ‘98 but with Toronto. 2 players that hit 116 home runs in the same year (1998) and Oakland had them just the year prior. I’m a lifelong A’s fan but the Oakland franchise has been traditionally a joke

Three on this list over 500ft in one season.... 502, 512, 538. Almost all 58 looked like they were over 400ft.

Big Mac, reaching greatness

1:46 I love how the announcer was dead wrong about the distance, the actual distance of that home run was 523 ft

Mac actually hit the top facade of RFK stadium twice in BP. Lol! Also hit the scoreboard above the upper deck at Atlanta’s Turner Field. McGwire was a lot of fun to watch. I still say that Jacobs Field scoreboard shot he hit to Left Center is the farthest in that stadiums history. 485???? Pfft! GTFOH. Add about 50 feet to that.

thats where it hit on the score board someone wrote an article i read few years back. that it would've gone 520+ had it not hit anything to your point

Mcgwire was stuck on HR 34 for 73 at bats between the A's and Cards otherwise he breaks the record in 1997 my guess 64-65

#9 kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJOe0sWiks6dkso.html #18 kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJOe0sWiks6dkso.html I'm pretty sure that's #18 since they have the same uniforms as #19 and it doesn't look dark out

I miss when baseball used to be fun like this and no one complained about the game. I'm sorry but they may need to get analytics out of baseball!

@@EnjoySackLunch LOL. Yes, technically I complained there, but I meant I miss when people didn't complain about how long baseball games were or complain that baseball is boring to them. In the late 90's, early 2000's, no one really griped about baseball like that. Yeah, part of it may be short attention spans and people can't sit and enjoy a game anymore, but yeah, that was where I was coming from. The analytics stuff is wack, but outside of that, baseball is a fine game!

Back when you actually looked forward to watching a baseball game. I could care less who juiced in baseball. If that’s what it takes to make the game exciting to watch then baseball itself is the culprit.
