The longest measured home run in a major league game is 193 m (634 ft) by Mickey Mantle for the New York Yankees against the Detroit Tigers at Briggs Stadium, Detroit, Michigan, USA, on September 10, 1960.

In his book "The Physics of Baseball", Robert K. Adair estimates 450 feet is the maximum distance a ball can be hit under standardized conditions (i.e., no wind, moderate temperature, average humidity). With thinner air, hot weather, and a bit of a tail wind, he estimates balls could travel 545 feet.

"No one in the history of the game has hit the ball farther than Mickey Mantle. His 565-foot home run hit at Griffith Stadium in Washington on April 17, 1953 is the home run that coined the term "tape measure home run." It's listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest home run ever measured."

Officially Mantle hit his tape measure shot at 565, but one was estimated at 634 (also by mantle) somewhere else but something stopped it.
