The longest home run over the Green Monster at Fenway Park is attributed to Babe Ruth, who reportedly hit a 573-foot home run in 1919.

The best idiom for jealousy is "the green-eyed monster." Saying this means that someone is jealous of something. You don't actually call the person a monster, though.
