Rumors say that Babe Ruth's called shot may have hit 650 feet, but there's no way of knowing. Officially, it's Mickey mantle's 565-footer.

I believe it's Mantle, who hit one in Washington 565 feet. Rumor was that one he hit in Detroit went 643 feet.
Then again, the one Poo Holes hit in Houston last year in the playoffs could have gone into orbit if it hadn't hit the wall behind the left field stands.

Does it really matter? If you hit a homerun you did, great. Does it matter how long it is.
