    Cian Coogan it was made “against the rules” in 1991 but nothing was enforced and, as you said, no one was tested. Does it really count if there’s nothing to try and prevent people from taking them? Can you blame someone for trying to get an edge when there’s zero consequence for doing it? It’s not really against the rules until they test for it and actually have consequences for using it.

    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.

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!

    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.

    It's all bat speed. These steroid monsters don't hit it any farther than the regular guys who are just talented. It matters how fast you can make the bat travel, how fast the pitch was, and how solidly you hit it (including trajectory). Mantle was an astonishing talent and if we had 4K TV then (not to mention safe outfields) he would have been the greatest hitter ever......EASY.

    It was quoted as 500 feet the day that it happened, or the next day (actually, I recall 511 feet being given as the number). I remember that. He hit another bomb at yankee stadium later after he left the cubs, but I don't remember the distance. The mcgwire and canseco home runs, and probably gallaraga were all reduced significantly by later more accurate measurements. When most of these were hit, anything that went high into the upper deck got oversold as a 500 footer when a lot wouldn't have traveled much further. IIRC, the gallaraga ball was later revised to 460-something, as was the canseco ball.

    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.
