Mickey Mantle has the ten longest home runs ever hit. In Washington the official measurement was 565 feet. The ball he hit in Yankee Stadium that hit the light tower in right field was projected to have been 643 feet. Detroit was to have been over 600 feet. Mantle was probably the greatest single talent the game has ever known.
I always hear the talk about Josh Gibson and I'm here to tell you that 99.9% of the talk is nothing but crap. I've done extensive research on the ***** Leagues and most of it BS. The reality of it is that Josh Gibson was a marginal catcher at best. He only played in 501 total career games and hit a grand total of 147 career home runs. Never hitting more then 17 home runs in one season. He was a drug addict and drunk and died very early in life. His "legendary" home runs were just that kids tales. He was not a tape measure hitter.
It really bothers me that people don't take the time to research baseball. Truth is more important that most of the crap you read in this website.

The correct answer is Mickey Mantle who hit a 634 foot homer on Sept 10. 1960 against the Detroit Tigers. He also almost hit two out of Yankee Stadium with only the facade keeping it from going completely out of the stadium.

I heard about Mantles 600+ foot shot, but i don't that one was tops. 3 years ago I saw Adam Dunn hit a homerun at Cincinnati into the Ohio River, which is technically the State of Kentucky off a bounce on the highway. It was an absolute blast. It was still traveling upward as it cleared the centerfield batter's eye at GABP. They said it only went about 580-600 feet, but i'll tell ya, anyone there that night, including me would swear it traveled more than 650 ft. It was just a phenomenal superhuman powershot.

Mickey Mantle in many circumstances admited if he got here as much as bat & the team needed an rbi single he might nonetheless be up there swinging as puzzling as he might desire to to attempt to get a house run, no longer distinctive adult males swing with ALL there might from now on, the philosphy in todays interest is greater once you do issues suited the you will hit a house run, todays ability adult males dont look like they're attempting to hit a house run with each and every swing from now on, some adult males do ocasionally, however the Mick has suggested till now he replace into consistently swiging for the subsequent city!

Mickey Mantle hit 743 ft. on 5/22/63 but I'm not sure if that's the longest. It could be Cecil Fielder though.
