In golf the longest recorded carry is 458 yards.
The longest recorded drive is 518 yards. Obviously, if you include bounces and rolls, you will get a longer final distance and as such, you could simply tap a ball off of a mountain and easily beat this record. As for the famous moon shot, Alan Shepard himself admits that the ball went somewhere between 200 and 400 yards, well short of the real record, but of course he did it one-handed while wearing a space-suit.
In baseball the longest home-run is estimated to be anywhere from about 250 to 320 yards, depending on who you ask and what they consider a legitimate account of the distance. Often, the actual distance is estimated since you can't always take the word of some kid who says, "Oh I caught it right over there on the fly."
In cricket I would guess that the same rule applies. It is estimated that the longest hit was about 168 yards.
