Home run measurements are far from scientifically accurate. The longest recorded home run at 634 feet by Yankee great Mickey Mantle on Sept. 10, 1960, at Briggs Stadium in Detroit. Many dispute the record as myth or claim that the ball actually landed and rolled to its resting point 634 feet away from home plate.

The Mick hit the first taped home run at 565 at Griffth stadium after he hit the roof five times coming within mere feet of hitting it out of Yankee Stadium.
Micky Mantle FOR THE YANKEES hit a ball 634 feet. the real record
Mickey Mantle at Yankee Stadium on 2-3 occasions hit 550-560' and one occasion 570'--620'. Mick has the record. In an exibition game, Mickey Mantle hit a ball 700 feet. He was also known for hitting home run's over 600 feet on more than one occasion.

I did it in Griffith Stadium......565 feet....only one measured.....the one I hit of the "facade" in Yankee Stadium was projected that it would have gone 700 feet......remember that this was only on "beer" and no steroids......correct me if I am wrong......did McGuire hit any over 500 feet?.....I do not think so.......the term "tape measure" homerun was started by my home runs.........GO YANKEES! STINKIN RED SOX!!
