Well, it's very difficult to answer this question conclusively as most of the homeruns of past greats like Ruth and Mantle cannot be confirmed to be the distances claimed, being more likely exaggerated. A good article on the matter can be found at the following site: http://www.Baseball-almanac.com/feats/art_hr.shtml Another good site would be: http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2004/EricaRosenthal.shtml Most historians would probably have no problem stating that Mantle or Ruth hit the furthest ball, with most probably agreeing that it was Mantle who should hold the record. Of course, this fact can be disputed, but both of these Yankee greats have hit mammoth blasts which could have ranged anywhere from 500 - 650 ft.
