No. On May 22, 1963 Mickey Mantle came close to hitting a fair ball out of Yankee Stadium. Mantle hit a home run off the right field upper façade in the "old Stadium". The façade was 108 feet high and the distance from home plate was 374 feet. The ball was still rising when it hit. Mickey thought it was the hardest ball he had ever hit.
When I was a kid I remember hearing about Johnny Ellis, a catcher for the Yankees doing it in batting practice. I don't know how true this is because no body talks about.
