what is the longest home run ever hit in Major League Baseball in third position Reggie Jackson with a 539 ft monster that clunked off the roof of Tiger Stadium in the 1971 All-Star Game in second place Mickey Manel in April 1953 Manel crushed a high fast ball 565 ft the ball left the stadium and was recovered by a boy from the neighborhood he handed it back over for just $5 and a couple of autographed balls and now that home run ball is in the Hall of Fame but at number one the Sultan of Swat Babe Ruth himself in July 1921 in Detroit during the eighth inning with yogi Bara at first base Ruth cranked a mighty shot into the summer air with a strong Breeze behind it from home plate now relying on eyewitness accounts of the ball carrying a center field wall and blueprints of the old stadium itself Ruth’s home run shot was measured at 575 ft

Bryce Harper 570

I saw Reggie hit that ball in Tigers Stadium. It was something else to see
So all were in the same stadium?
This is bad
Feels like a Yogi line
"I was playing baseball before I was even born."
I think you are forgetting Bonds hitting one completely out of Anaheim stadium in 2002 WS estimated to go 600+..!
History would be a wonderful thing IF IT WAS TRUE.
BARRY BONDS AGAINST THE ANGELS WORLD SERIES TIM SALMON SAID THATS THE LONGEST BALL HE EVER SEEN GOT HIT 600 FEET GO YOUTUBE IT
Where does he saying anything about yogi Berra ??
Ai
AI
Mark McWire hit a homer 525’ at old Busch Stadium. Cheating no doubt but still impressive.
Did someone forget Joey Myers actually the furthest home run in MLB history 582foot
Yogi Berra covering first at negative 4 years old. What a stud.
Bryce Harper in high school….💀
Lol,Yogi Berra was born on 1925, inaccurate at all
I question how accurate these estimates of old home runs are. I would almost bet that the longest home run ever hit had to have been hit by Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, or maybe Aaron Judge.
12 year old me saw Jackson's massive shot from the UD in LF. It actually hit the light-tower on the roof in RCF. The crowd was stunned at 1st and then erupted in applause. The ball waa flying out that evening: Aaron, Bench, Robinson, Killibrew, AND, my hero of heroes- the immortal Clemente: 460 to UD in RCF. Ruth's crush-job would have been hit in the vicinity of Jackson's, only there was no upper-deck, at what was then Navin Field, to stop it from smashing into the facade of the lumber yard across the street from that (legendary) ballpark. God bless America.
The all star game isn’t in actual game. Reggie’s doesn’t count
And all 3 were at tiger stadium
