I think there's good reason all the super long ones were of games that were not televised or filmed, people do exaggerate especially if it will sell more tickets. The only exception is one hit in the thin air of Denver.

Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. If you have watched highlights of the 1970 AFC Championship game (Raiders-Colts), the field, during the cold months, was all dirt. I believe that game was referred to as the Dust Bowl.

Obviously the farther back you go the more suspect the figures are because the methods of measurement are nowhere near as scientific. They are all impressive! Jim Thome’s shot , the first one here really impresses me the most …it’s in plain view and it is to Centerfield, of course several others are mind blowing too.Strawberry’s is jaw dropping …

Most of those tape measure homers were hit by big men who were well over 6’ and 200 pounds. Mantle, at 5’11’ and 195 pounds was arguably the strongest man, pound-for-pound, to play baseball and he could hit for average as well. Who on that list, with the exception of Ruth, could boast a triple crown year with over 50 homers, 130 RBI, and a 353 BA? And he was a switch hitter to boot who before his injuries slowed him down had quarter-horse speed.

LA Coliseum. You forgot to mention that it was the former home of UCLA Football, 1984 Olympics, Rams, Raiders, and for four years it was home of the Dodgers. And will be home to the 2028 Olympics. It has hosted the World Series and two Super Bowls. You’ve omitted a significant amount of its history. If I am not mistaken, the construction photo of the Yale Bowl is actually the Rose Bowl. Look at where the tunnels are to access the locker rooms.

The longest home run in my estimation is by Mickey Mantle. In September 1963 at Yankee stadium. Mantle hit a walk off home run off KC pitcher Bill Fisher. The ball hit the facade in right field and the ball was still on the rise. About 2 feet short of clearing Yankees stadium. Mickey Mantle said “THE HARDEST BALL I EVER HIT”. According to experts, the ball was projected to go over 700 feet if the ball left Yankee Stadium. I was 13 years old at the time and I saw it on WPIX TV, that was a night game.
