    And nowadays, we only get around 330-420ft homeruns (usually). That's a pretty damn good feat by Mickey Mantle. I wonder if they ever found the ball, and if they did, was it even still a ball.

            And that'd be an even better feat. I have to admit, the baseball's are getting harder and more compact.



            I still wonder about that shot...
