- The PED era in baseball, was entertaining! But, it's not the only era in baseball that massive homers were hit! Here are my top 15 home runs that traveled over 500 feet! Several were hit completely out of the stadium!

Adam Dunn should not be forgotten, one of most dangerous power hitters of his era.
They were fun to watch again. Great video
Thank you
Kingman ...wow! Out of the stadium and hits the porch of the 3rd house down ..unbelievable!!!😊
They didn’t call him King Kong for nothing!
No one hit them farther, or higher, than Kong.
Kingman made Lou Boudreau lose his mind, R.I.P Lou.
I do not watch the Cubs games, But I was watching this game and could not believe my eyes.........what a Home Run, it was!!
Loved Dave Kingman as a kid! He was lean! Not Canseco like at all. Tall and thin.
Always glad to see The Big Cat get some recognition. Andres Galarraga was and is egregiously underrated. As usual simply because he was a Colorado Rockie.
You’re 100% right! He was a beast at the dish!
And an expos
Exactly. And rightfully so
Roy Hobbs, 633 feet, clock destroyed, fans underneath all skewered.
Crowd reaction with Sexson's was the best. "Ah sweet, a home run, uhh WHOAH THAT HIT WHERE?!?!?"
Glenallen Hill's will never be topped, in my book.
It was a line drive at the perfect launch angle, and it looked effortless.
It was like he was taking a practice swing, and the ball was intentionally thrown to hit the bat at the perfect spot.
I will never be convinced that any of these others went farther than that one. It was perfection.
well it was topped by canseco by 40 ft get real bro

Killebrew in 67 over 500' & several by Mantle at Griffith Stadium & Facade Yankee Stadium.
Legend is that Killebrew hit absolute bombs. Under appreciated slugger imo
@@kevinwicklund9593 That's who Reggie Jackson copied
The steroid era was the best
Ikr they should definitely test these new age players also
Absolutely. Bring it back
In 77 we saw Kingman hit a ball over 500 feet in batting practice in Toronto...absolutely crushed
Kingman was Mark McGwire before Mark McGwire! Only unjuiced!
I have two: On May 6, 1964, Dave Nicholson either cleared or grazed the left center field upper deck roof at old Comiskey Park in Chicago. Official estimate: 573 feet.
Dave Kingman hit another HR at Wrigley that landed in the NEXT Block. Estimates were 550+. Legend has it that Cubs left fielder Jose Cardenal (The ultimate in cool) did not move an inch other than to watch the ball go over his head.
Man, I love hearing stories like this! I hadn’t heard about the Nicholson shot, but I had seen the Kingman blast once upon a time and you’re right, Cardinal( a former Reds coach)never moved!😂
Super fun to watch Shannon. Brings back some great memories. Enjoyed.
Thank you. The good ole days Steve.😁
Larry stall, 67 or 68, Municipal
Stadium, right field over the 40 ft
fence, estimated 512 ft in KC !
Stargell, Dodger Stadium, 507 feet.
I believe Kingman also hit a popup that hit the roof of one of the early domed stadiums. I can't recall which.
They didn’t call him King Kong Kingman for nothing. He has to be one of the strongest players to ever play the game.
I would say the craziest thing about McGwire's #2 is that didn't even look like a full swing, just the perfect contact with his "superhuman" power.
Frank Howard, mid 60s hit one over center field fence, and everything else, Washington
Senators
Frank Howard was the 1st coming of Aaron Judge. Howard was a big strong man as well! I would have loved to seen that gargantuan blast!
There used to be a site up that was maintained by a guy who did the actual physics calculations. Reggie was number 1, Cansecos and Gallaragas were nice but it was way way lower than those predictions, something like 470.
The estimations, before modern statcast came along, were a little off.😬 Sometimes.
Love it! What I really like is we get to see a replay. Too many videos just show it once. Oh yeah Kingman's. That ones in Milwaukee! Classic!
Awesome! Thank you!
In 1986 I saw some tall, thin redheaded A's player named Mark McGwire hit a ball clear out of the ballpark at John Thurman Field in Modesto, CA. I thought that was just about as far as a baseball could go off a bat and that was years before he "buffed up."
Wow! Thats so cool! Say what you want about the juice, it made for some entertaining baseball!
McGwire was and always will be my favorite.
I miss the days of estimated home run distances because it gave us some of these monster numbers. If these were all hit during the Statcast era, most of them are probably under 500 feet... especially Strawberry's, where they just threw out a ridiculous number because it hit the roof, which is really more telling of how high he hit it, not how far. I have no doubts Statcast would have had that one around the 450-foot range.
Statcast needs to chill! I like the days of estimation better!😁
You're right, but most people like to romanticize the distances. 500+ foot homers are extremely rare. Since stat cast there have been just over 50k homers and THREE went 500 feet and nothing over 505. Of those three, two were at Coors Field. Also, the so-called 580 foot homer by Joey Meyer is a myth. Babe Ruth never hit a homer anywhere close to 575 feet. It's my belief there are more unassisted triple plays in MLB history than 500 foot homers. If that's true it likely the rarest of the rare.
@@brentrosencrans3968
A lot depends on launch angle and exit velocity, but a good measure is that a HR at it's highest point, is about 2/3rds of the distance traveled. For example a 450-foot HR would have a maximum height of about 300 feet. Of course, there are some outliers.
What a shot by Mcguire. Tons of irony there!
😂😂😂
Dudes been around 37 years and people still can't spell his name FFS
@chrischar9428 dudes been around 61 years and people still think he's 37
Love my Swinging' A's. It's been a long time since then.
Mickey Mantle hit the ball that was still rising when it hit the lights over Yankee stadium it was still rising
This was enjoyable
Super video Shannon. Awesome Home Runs. Thanks for sharing.
Fun to watch. Lots of great players and memories.
For sure Greg! Thanks for watching and Happy Independence Day!
So fun to watch. Thanks Shannon and have an awesome weekend 👊🏻⚾️
Thank you David! You do the same my friend.
Awesome! Love these type of videos!
Of course McGwire and Canseco are 1 and 2!😂
Manny Ramirez, when he was with Boston, hit a towering shot in Toronto that could be farther than Canseco's blast...
Manny Ramirez hit a few bombs in his day!
Cool video. Enjoy your weekend!
Thank you! You too my friend.
Super cool video, Shannon! Awesome stuff!!
Thank you Danny!
DAVE KINGMAN hitting one onto someone's front yard is the best! also LETS GO METS!! GRIMMMMMACEEEE
Yes! I feel you. I’m a Reds fan!😬
@@backtothecardboard Free PETE ROSE!
I totally agree 👍
Dave Kingman’s home run was my favorite. The ball might still be rolling down the street.
😂
And it looks like Kingman hit it off the end of the bat! Too bad he had to suffer as a member of that team.
Just imagine what would have happened if he had got all of it!!!!
I saw Dave Kingman, when he was with the Cubs, check his swing and it went out of the ballpark.
Jim rice hit a ball onto the freeway. Landed in the back of a pickup
Great compilation video
Thank you my friend
Great video. These shots were majestic. But c’mon with the numbers. Sober up, bro.
The era before statcast was a little off.😬
Some epic dingers 🎉
Kingman's ball was a bomb . Hill's on the roof across the street was also unreal . Ron Kittle and Greg Luzinski hit some bombs over roof at old Comiskey that aint on this video
The one Galaraga hit sounded like the hardest ball ever hit LOL jesus H!!!
Nice video my dude. Baseball used to be really fun. Bond's hit one against the Yankee's I think in 2001 that was an absolute bomb.
I miss these days
Yeah the Bonds homer vs Lilly at the stadium during a day game. More than half way up the upper deck in right. I’ve been watching Yankees games since around 75 and that was the longest I’ve ever seen in the RF upper deck at the old stadium.
@@davidlarsen-tj4tn absolutely crushed it. It was just starting to curve when it hit the stand up there at near maximum velocity. The freaking thing might have gone 600 ft. Bonds was a demigod
I still believe Glenallen Hill's HR would have been the longest of all time with nothing to stop it. My dad will argue to this day Kingman was further but I dont buy it.
Kingman’s looks farther because you can see it bouncing away! Either way, they were both mashed!😁
Mcguire’s, Canseco’s, others?: Tilt. I respect Maguire for fessing up, ultimately.
Ichiro once bunted a baseball 451 feet.
"Break out the Rye bread and the Mustard Grandma,
its grand salami time!"
😂. Mmmmmm……Salami!
Keep rocking, stay connected! New supported friend. sixty eight done my friend !!
Thank you so much.
Glenallen Hill crushed that ball, but also look at that wind going nuts. You can't tell me the wind didn't add some serious distance to that one.
As hard as it was blowing, I guarantee it did!💨⚾️
Many years ago you could find out the direction of the wind at Wrigley and bet the total accordingly. Now the books totally take into consideration the wind. Winds blowing out? You could see totals like 11 and 12. Winds blowout in? Maybe 7.5.
Sorry that Canseco one was not the furthest. Upper deck or not, it was over the 328 mark. Mcquires went over the 375 mark.
McGwire's.
Mick-Gawires
Those were some SAUCEY dingers
No doubt!🤙🏻⚾️
I saw the Canseco HR it looked like it was on a string. Just kept rising until it hit the 5th deck. Half way I said "Holly Sh!t!" From perfect front row 2nd deck right field vantage. Couldn't be passed he hit it, just amazed... at what you could do on roids 😂😂😂
Roids are not, that would have been amazing to see!
If you had 7 shots of D-Backs games through the years, you might have 7 different color schemes and multiple logos. Stick with something!
It’s like an NBA team, and now they are forcing it on every team with the hideous city connect jerseys
@@NoNameNo.5 I Agree with your premise; the only caveat is that I like the Cleveland Guardians city connects. But they stayed with the team colors and a basic design. But those teams with 5 different pastels or neons or all black are hideous!
~ 1998? Mark McGwire destroyed a wimpy changeup off a rookie Blue Jays pitcher. It might be the longest HR in MLB history. It was traveling upwards when it smacked the upper wall well above the seats in the Skydome.
😳 I believe it!
Aaron Judge’s Seattle home run must have been 600 ft 😂😂
😂😂
Reggie Jackson’s HR was in the All-Star game, which should bump it up a few notches. Back when the All-Star Game was an actual competition.
For real! The AS game has zero meaning these days!
What I'd love to see is Jack Clark's massive shot in Fenway as a Red Sox. Early 90s, looks like it hit the Moosehead sign 1/4mi away.
Oh man I would love to see that! I looked for it on YT but couldn’t find it.
Happy 60th bday Jose!
Is he 60? Wow! I had no idea! Happy BdayJose!
@@backtothecardboard yeah crazy isnt it
Great to see Lasteroid back in the day
Who?
Dave kingman used to Blast the cover off the ball and send it into orbit . 😂
😂
Hills was my favorite although the wind really helped it.
He put that ball up in the jet stream!
Kingman for the HOF, should have been in
I agree 100%!
A .236 hitter with 0 defensive ability and 0 speed in the HOF? He had massive power. His only tool in the shed,
I can't believe Oakland let canseco and McGuire go
Some over estimations: Hill's was estimated at 490. Strawberry's was maybe 400 feet or so. It was just skied really high. Galaraga's was also re estimated at 470. Kingman's is also likely around 450. Jackson's is more like 480. Mcgwire's kingdome shot is probably closer to 500 ft. Canseco's Toronto shot is more likely 440 ft given that it only takes about 425 ft to get to that shallow upper deck. The rest seem accurate.
You personally Measure them ?? How do you know ? Curious, what , whose measurements are you going by ?
@micpay I have a lot better spacial skills that most and some of these were also revised estimates.
@@RAtMW88what proof you have of this ?
@@patrickpersianni5314 What proof do you have of anything?
@@RAtMW88 what about you , you the one making these claims without any evidence
Jose shd be in the HOF. Man he was so good. Don't care about the ped's, they were all doin em back then. But JC had every tool in the bag!
I agree Pat! I met him a couple years ago in Nashville! He is a super great guy!
Kirk Gibson hit one out of tiger stadium across trumbull onto ace hardware that had a sign where it hit like 532 feet I believe
That’s crazy! Is the sign on top of ace hardware?
@@backtothecardboard yes
You missed Greg Luzinski's (White Sox) rooftop shots in 1984.
The Bull could Mash!
I hate Conseco but seeing him crush that ball on the blue jays is awesome
What about current Yankee "stanton" i think it was about 10 years ago when he played for Miami he hit one out of dodger stadium. That one had to be close to 500.
Stanton has hit several Monster Blasts. Heck, about every HR he hits is a monster shot!😂
How about stargell at the vet. I remember his star he hit it into the 700 level. Over 529 ft.
Stargell, if I’m not mistaken, hit one out of Cincinnati’s old Riverfront stadium!
So many of these were grossly exaggerated. There was a group of three physicists that did a paper called the myth of the 500 ft home run. And they took a lot of these home runs, and they found out exactly what seat they landed in and how high the seat is off the ground and how far away from home plate it is as well as any other wind conditions that may factor into it. And with the video they determined the launch angle and they actually got very accurate measurements based on the information they collected for the paper. Whereas the people in the stadium were making a gas in less than 2 minutes based on none of that information. They were not accurately guesstimating those distances at all. Mark mcgwire's 540 ft home run only went about 473 Jose canseco's 538 home run went around 443. Andres galarraga, his home run I think was around 485. The reason we don't see very many 500 ft home runs these days with statcast being much more of an accurate measurement, is because so many of these balls that we thought were 500 ft back in the day actually were not. They were over exaggerated guesses
That is so true. I agree with that 100%. Modern statcast killed the 500ft HR.😁 Still yet, a 485ft, steroid induced, HR is still pretty spectacular.
@@backtothecardboard oh for sure. A bomb is a bomb. But it makes the real 500 footers that much more special
Any ideas on the distance of Cecil Fielder's rooftop bombs in Tiger Stadium?
It was an estimated 510 feet! That was a crazy HR! OUT OF TIGER STADIUM!
And because Joey Meyer's 582ft cannon shot in 1987 for Denver was AAA game, does that exclude it from camera coverage?
I seen it the other day! Unbelievable blast for sure!
@@backtothecardboard...He was hitting those kinda shots in high school & UHawaii....
Does anyone anywhere have a video of a shot Ted Simmons hit to left field in Philadelphia? I’ve never seen a ball that seemed hit harder. I would swear it was still rising when it hit the façade.
That’s crazy! I would love to see that also!
I want them all tested!! LOL
😂
Oakland Athletics ❤
When Canseco and McGwire played together they should have been known as "The Juice Junkies" rather than "The Bash Brothers;" Yes, you, too, can make the ball fly a long, long way if you take enough of the stuff!
I just saw canseco at olive garden 😂
😳 No way!
@@backtothecardboard Yeah he lives in vegas. He competes in pro softball tournaments too. It's like a sasquatch sighting. Saw Frank Thomas at my gym too. Very nice dudes.
@@hughjass69702 that’s pretty cool! I met Jose at a card show in Nashville and he was very nice.
Juan Encarnacion and Jimmy Wynn should be here also
Manny hit one similar to Canseco at Skydome.
Mannys was into the 5th deck also! What a blast!
😂 McGwires homer made me laugh cuz the thing said 523ft then the announcer said that went 485ft! That’s how ik a lot of these are not hit over 500
Gotta think too, these were measured before statcast.
I’m not sure if there is footage available, but I thought Mantle hit the longest of HRs. It’d be interesting if a professional engineer/ surveyor dug into this for actuals. McGuire and Canseco were clearly using steroids so it does make sense on their mamoth shots btw.
Mantles HR was reported to be 565ft. But I don’t believe it was ever measured.
Kingman's was the longest - and no roids.
Wow 😮, that's right no steroids 👍👍
His was no where near as far as they said. It bounced way before where they said it landed.
Didn’t Barry bonds hit one like 583 ft in Anaheim or against St. Louis.? Trying to remember
I wouldn’t doubt it. He hit one to the buoy in mcCovey Cove at Giants Stadium. That buoy is a good 75 feet from the walkway that runs around the back of the stadium! He hit one 499 in Yankee stadium back in 2002. According to google that’s his farthest HR. I find that hard to believe though.
Ma-ga-wire
Shouldn’t count McGwire
How can Sammy Sosa 520’ from 2003 vs the Brewers is not there? 🤔
It should be!
Lots of juice in those guys.
Kingman, Jackson? Meh
A few but not all.
CJ Cron???
I would’ve liked to have seen Mickey Mantle’s
For sure!
how accurate are these numbers?
I would say, not very.
Love this!! I still talk about that Glenallen Hill homerun (I was watching that game). Same with the Kingman (Dave and Schmidt each hit two dingers that game... my Cubbies lost like 21-20... still an amazing game that I rewatch from time to time). I also was lucky enough to be watching the Canseco homerun game as well with my roommate at Vincennes University (basically the Harvard of the midwest 🤣). New sub here!! Also, just launched my own card channel... if you get bored sometime I'd love for you to check it out.
Thank you Bart! Everyone forgets about Glenallen Hill. He was a Beast when he made contact! Same with Kingman. I’ll repay your sub with a sub! 😁 Thanks for that and thanks for the great comment buddy.
The score was 23-22.
I think Kingman might have been the farthest. But strawberry was probably longer. Glenallin hills was the longest I ever seen
All 3 were complete bombs!!!
I wonder if I am the only one that believes Adam Dunn is one of the biggest “what ifs” in baseball history. If he has actually focused on the game and honed his natural strength and talents, he could have easily been in the 600 Homer club or beyond. Just speculation of course
I have to agree. Dunn, I think, liked to hit the long ball way too much. Which cost him some strike outs, which in turn hurt his overall game. Just speculation on my part.
@@backtothecardboard well, what I meant, is baseball was never his first passion. He was a farm/ranch boy who was just naturally strong and just wanted to be a ranch guy. Baseball was more of a hobby for him. He was fun to watch to say the least, but if he put some work in he could have been like Jim Thome. Either way, watched him in Arizona a lot and his strikeouts could cool down all of Chase Field. 🤣🤣
Bring back the Roids!!! Monster moonshots!
Tape measure shots by tape measure shots!💉😂
These numbers are quite suspicious
5:44... Click here over & over 😅😅😅
What about frank robinsons??
He hit one out of Memorial Stadium! I forgot about that one!
no barry bonds?
😁
Canseco was the man
In the late 80s he was by far the best!
Dave "KING KONG" Kingman. Imagine how far he'd have hit home runs if he'd played in the 'roid era. Farther than McGwire.
He would have hit it OUT of Chicago!
McGwire had ONE good season in his career before he juiced. Screw'em.
Micky mantle
Canceco's HR is def not 540 or even close to it. Same for reggie Jacksons and Stawberries.
