Longest Bomb You've Hit?

[FindingTim]

In honor of making random thread to pass the time until the media blitz begins, describe your longest homerun. who hit it, who was pitching, where did it land?

I use contact swing only and rarely hit enormous shots, but one of my most memorable was an absolute bomb to right-center field at AT&T Park. Pablo Sandoval was hitting and the ball cleared the '421 ft.' wall by a good bit.

I hit one over the batters eye in Center field with Matt Kemp. Not sure how far it was and Chris Young was on the mound. Kemp hit 2 homers that day off of Young.

Chris Davis 444 feet Fenway Park to straight away center. Absolute bomb

Re: Longest Bomb You've Hit?

My RTTS player has hit a couple that went over 460 ft.

Other than that, I remember recently, I hit one with Nick Swisher that went over 460 ft. at Yankee Stadium. It went to right center and the wind was blowing out in that direction.

There's other bombs I've hit, but since the home runs are only measured to where they actually land and not where the would land, they didn't read as being long shots.

My RTTS player launched one to left center in Florida and it landed in the top deck.

I've hit some big upper deck bombs with A Rod to left field at Yankee Stadium.

The only one I can recall was Ichiro hitting one off the top of the restaurant on the left field side of Safeco.

Edgar Renteria left center 415 feet.

Re: Longest Bomb You've Hit?

Can't remember further back, but I'm using Knight's Classic Rosters ('86 Mets) and I launched a 425' bomb to RF at Great American Ballpark with Straw.

The longest I can recall is hitting a 445' bomb to straight-away left field with Ryan Garko in AT&T park.

I hit a 478-foot blast into McCovey Cove at the Giants' ballpark....with Fred Lewis, of all people. Didn't use power swing either, just got a high fastball and timed it perfectly. Also didn't hurt that the wind was blowing to right field at 20 mph. Here is the video:

It will look so much sweeter this year when the replay follows the ball!

No kidding. I'd really like for them to add some kind of preset camera replay angle, kinda like the one they show immediately after the HR is hit. Last year I always struggled to find the perfect replay angle.

Re: Longest Bomb You've Hit?

I wished the game would give you the home run distance on every HR you hit (I'm an RTTS guy) because I've hit some bombs and never knew how far they travelled.

BTW... has anyone hit one out to dead center field in Houston? I for one have not.

Re: Longest Bomb You've Hit?

I don't remember how long it was, but it was definitely out of Minute Maid Park. With Prince Fielder, so opposite field as well.
