Base of the wall at ground level
in baseball: when a person hits the ball over the outfield fence, or beyond the distance measured as a home run
No, a home run is when the ball goes out of the field.
The longest home run of 2009 belongs to Waldemar Balentien of the Cincinnati Reds. It was measured at 495 ft.
A groundball cannot be hit for a home run. If a ball is hit on the ground and bounces over the wall, it's called a ground-rule double
My understanding is that the height of the wall should be equivilant to the subtracted length of the regulation home run distance; hence, if your wall is placed 30' short of the standard home run wall distance from the appex of home plate, the home run line should be located 30' vertically on a wall at that location.

out of the park home run
Harmon Killebrew was known for his long distance power hitting. His longest measured home run was 520 at Minnesota's Metropolitan Stadium. He likely had longer ones that were not measured.
