Nobody knows for sure BUT it was said that Ruth once hit one 587 feet in an exhibition game against the Giants back in 1919. His tremendous blow to right-center field in Detroit on June 8, 1926, has often been reported as traveling 628 feet, but again was it measured where it first landed or where it came to a rest.

Mickey Mantle's longest "tape measure" home run was 565 feet. It was hit on April 17, 1953, at Griffith Stadium in Washington D.C. Mickey has hit other home runs that were estimated to be further than 600 feet.

Mickey Mantle hit some of the longest home runs in Major League history. On September 10, 1960, he hit a ball that cleared the right-field roof at Tiger Stadium in Detroit that was estimated years after to have traveled 643 feet. Another Mickey Mantle homer at Griffith Stadium in Washington on April 17, 1953, was measured to have traveled 565 feet. One of his most famous home runs came inches away from clearing the Yankee Stadium facade to be the only hitter to hit the ball out of Yankee Stadium. The Ball was still traveling up when it hit.
