Hitting a ball out of a professional league stadium might be the coolest thing you can do as a baseball player
Nick Sacco with a wood bat no less
And steroids
Perfect Game is still benchmark
One of what about a no no tho
For offense yes no doubt.
Should rename this video ------> MLB: Confused Cameramen.
marcmarc1967 actually mlb on roids
They need two different versions. 1 on roids and the other we think or roids. Not enough material for a clean one
I hate how they can't track there flights sometimes
I didn’t see one ball land
Glenallen Hill was one of the most powerful hitters of that era, but he was so inconsistent that he never really put up numbers reflective of his potential. But that dude had some of the hardest hits I saw as a kid. Great line drive hitter.
One of the strongest arms too
The Cubs had some amazing long ball hitters (at least for a while). Kingman, Dawson, Hill and others. Always crap teams, but great individual players you could always be excited to watch.
It’s funny. His swing looks so casual, would never have guessed from that alone he went yard let alone street or roof. 😁
I was watching that Glenallen Hill home run live on TV. I swear it's way more than 500 feet. Just look how much further it went than the Kingman home run at Wrigley from this same video.
That dude can hit a mile if he makes contact. However, he's the guy that swings at throws to third.
I've been on that part of the Rogers Centre (formerly Skydome) & that spot where Canseco hit it at is so far up from home plate it's beyond ridiculous.
I bet it is!
The Darryl Strawberry one really gets me. Skinny dude, he looked like he just got a piece of it, his swing looked downright casual, and he nails it for 525 feet. That is just incredible to me.
It was the cocaine
I dont think he was being casual... its because the ball hit the roof and he didnt know if it would count as a homer or not.
@@danielm642 Cocaine? What are you talking about?
@@RedroomStudios nah like his swing wasn’t your typical homer in swing it looks like he’s tryna hit a single
@@RedroomStudios same as op I think it’s crazy that he wasn’t even swinging that hard he must have just got it right on the sweet spot or sum
Ahh the golden days of baseball, when steroid pumped madmen hit 450+ft HRs on a regular basis
Jason Gallant it wasn’t against the rules at this time which means they aren’t cheaters. Dumbass
josh knix it was t against the rules they just didn’t test
Cian Coogan it was made “against the rules” in 1991 but nothing was enforced and, as you said, no one was tested. Does it really count if there’s nothing to try and prevent people from taking them? Can you blame someone for trying to get an edge when there’s zero consequence for doing it? It’s not really against the rules until they test for it and actually have consequences for using it.
josh knix Amen 🙏
and Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson and Rodger Clemens struck them all out
The Strawberry homerun was aided by an airflow from the Olympic Stadium ventalation system. It was in issue they had early in that season. Balls that were hit high flew like crazy.
I was at the game in Toronto when Canseco hit that bomb off of Flanagan. I was sitting in RF and the ball (as you could see on the clip) went out into LF.
That ball not only reached the upper deck, I recall it hitting a seat flush/hard and bouncing back like it still had tons of steam on it or as if it were still rising. I was in shock more than anything.
Not surprised it ranks as the furthest home run, Canseco absolutely crushed that thing.
Playoff game as well. Saturday afternoon
Strawberry really did have one of the most effortless swings ive ever seen. A guy that skinny has no business hitting a ball more than 500 feet.
Agreed. He was a guy with immense natural talent but couldn't handle the lifestyle.
@@toddrunyon
Yeah, that is just really too bad. He's like Dwight Gooden that way. He should've had a Hall of Fame career and even shined among them, but instead merely had a good career.
He wasn't skinny lean muscle mass. Greatvswing
Cocaine is a hell of a drug!
@@OLD4EYES83
Reeeally? I've never seen that posted on TH-cam.
Well, except for the other 1000 times. (1001 now)
Steroids are one hell of a drug.
Steroids help you recover faster from workouts. Meaningless when hitting a baseball.
The farthest balls I've ever hit in my life were when I didn't take steroids. Steroids didn't add any distance to my hitting. Now if you take a great hitter that can hit the ball a ton and make them stronger than there is a possibility of adding a little distance but it's not this magic drug that you take and all of a sudden you hit 500 foot home runs
EthnHayabusa Look at everyone on this list, mostly mcgwire and Dunn who took PEDs
John Stepp lol
EthnHayabusa your dumb
Growing up 15 minutes from Yankees Stadium I’ve been to well over 500 ball games and have seen tremendous home runs there, the longest I can remember was Thome hitting a shot to right center. Mike Cameron with the Mariners had to hit a 550 ft shot to straight away Center. Paul Kenerco to the upper deck in left, so loud it sounded like a pistol shot, Shane Spence in 98 same thing a gun shot 💥 BANG!! Many many others but those stand out!
I got to see McGwire in a batting practice during the ‘98 season. He was hitting balls not just over the outfield fences but completely OUT OF KAUFMAN STADIUM. One of the most impressive things I have ever seen tbh
Impressive?
Would you be impressed if you saw a 100 yard race between a few men and the man who won was allowed to start at the 50 yard line ahead of the other runners? Impressive? How about “was allowed to cheat?”
@@libertyforever836 cry more
@@TheDragon704
Grow a man’s pair
@@libertyforever836 says the one who's crying about a 25 year old home run. delusional
@@TheDragon704
I don’t like liars or cheaters. You’ve made yourself known for what you are.
There’s a story behind #8 as well.
I had a buddy that worked for the Indians and when they were remodeling the scoreboard back in the 2000s, they uncovered a dent in the metal right where McGuire hit that home run.
Lie
You're this old, and you still can't spell his name?
@@siler7 I was typing this on my phone at the time.
So what? The guy took enough PED’S to drop a moose in it’s tracks! GET REAL!
@@sheepdavis lmao why do you think he's lying? You don't think that piss missle could dent a big TV? Haha
I could hit these if I had new batteries in my Wii controller.
MLB 2K or Wii Sports baseball?
Lol
algorithm
I used to love playing baseball on Wii Sports but now I’m more knowledgeable of baseball it’s stupid that you play 4 innings per match on the game.
Miguel Montanelas Pokemon GO lol
MLB Power Pros
No one can convince me Kingmam's blast isnt the longest. Clearing Waveland and landing three houses down on Kenmore is absolutely nuts.
These are fun to watch. Regardless of players eating hot dogs or taking BALCO muscle sauce. George Herman did this fairly regularly. How unfortunate we do not have Sports Center for his career. The longest home run I saw live was when Dave Kingman played for Oakland. It was launched and Ron Guidry knew it.
7:10
Canseco: “You take an extra injection today?”
McGwire: “Yep.”
McGwire looks like he is still getting used to his new muscles
He was big when he first entered the league
Haha. Dude that literally made me lol.
@@PUgrad05 yeah but not fucking popeye big, guy looks like a cartoon
LMAOOOOOO
Much respect to Darryl Strawberry for having that kind power without being juiced up. Well at least not on roids'.
Yeah he was juiced alright😂😂
Agreed. And to Reggie and Kingman as well.
Milked
Compared to the rest of these comic book characters, Strawberry looks positively anorexic
He was just coked out of his mind. 😄
4:03
One of the only times the circle has been necessary. Thank you producers.
Something about that Canseco shot is just incredible. So much power and leverage on that swing. Unreal.
saw that one on live tv back in the day as a Toronto fan.
After this bomb, I heard the fans chanting steroids
Yeah but that shot did not go 540ft. It was the 1989 ALCS and I remember watching that game. They officially announced it at 484ft. The one that Manny Ramirez hit in 2001 (WHILE WITH BOSTON) went 491ft. and that record for that stadium (SKYDOME, ROGERS CENTRE) still stands today
That's because he was juiced up asshole.
ball was juiced, Canseco juiced...lucky that ball didnt explode
I remember that shot by Mcgwire against Randy Johnson. Holy smokes that was deep! Listening to Dave Neihaus on the play by play brings back a lot of memories. RIP Dave. You were the best!
I'm an A's fan. McGwire and Johnson were friends. I still believe they worked together to make this happen. McGwire also struck out twice to Johnson in the game. I could see a trade, like "I'll give you 2 Ks for a grooved in home run pitch."
Word is it still hasn't landed
The voice of Ken Griffey Jr. Slugfest. What absolute nostalgia.
@@mikepants35 I'm also an A's fan (since 1980) I'd love to hear the A's broadcast for that HR instead of the Seattle one.
He was a cheat. Period.
700 ft HR by Jr. on Ken Griffey Jr. Major League Baseball for Nintendo 64. “Call me Junior!”
remember the automatic homerun code? it was something like left left right right right left left on the d pad
That’s nothing. I’ve clobbered some 1000+ ft homers on that baseball game on the Wii. With a barely flick of the wrist lol 👌🏾👌🏾
That's Ken Griffey Jr's, winning run. Super Nintendo, I think.
Here's the code, I used it so much I committed it to memory (*honestly haven't even checked to see if I'm right*) b, y, b, y, select.
Growing up in Cleveland so many people didn’t appreciate the monsters we had in Thome, Manny, Sexon, and many others. Felt like each game you’d get to see at least one monster shot deep.
Hafner and victor would send bombs early 2000s
If you had all them nggas, how come they never won sh t? In fact, how come Cleveland's football and basketball teams haven't won sh t either? Cleveland = Losers.
Albert Belle too
also as a cleveland fan, Mark hitting that sign...we all know those bleachers, if you got 10 rows deep even thats an absolute tank...let alone reaching the scoreboard.
Kenny Lofton, Omar Vizquel, Carlos Baerga, Albert Belle, Eddie Murray, Jim Thome, Manny Ramirez, Sandy Alomar Jr., and Paul Sorrento. That was team right there. 100 wins in 144 games. Best and most fun season of baseball I've ever watched in my life. 1995.
That McGwire home run was a classic example of "You don't have to swing as hard as you can" logic. He put bat-on-ball to a fastball and let physics do the rest.
He was a cheat dude. Juiced up beyond belief.
@DW Palme Who cares. You post this under every McGwire comment. Get over it dude.
@@dwpalme2670...so was half the league at that time...yet not everyone was hitting home-runs like that.
He know how to use the ground to generate bat speed and power.
@@dwpalme2670 You do know that as a Sept call up in 1986, long before any juice, his first major league homerun was 450 to dead center at old Tiger stadium. Don't believe it, look it up, it's on you tube.
6:40 is my favorite. How can you not love Dave Niehaus calling home runs, for either team?
You would thought he was calling for the Athletics. Instead Dave Niehaus was the Mariners long time announcer.
Randy johnsons heat with mcguires juiced to the gills power is unmatched
That Galarraga shot in Miami was incredible. Not far from the roof
out of all the ones in this list his swing just looks absolutely perfect!
That was the prettiest swing on this list. Probably ever. Absolutely smashed that ball
The outfield was ENTIRELY tarped up. Zero fans, Ouch!
By far my fav of this list, even if it technically wasn't the longest. He murdered it.
Dunn's 535ft home run bounced somewhere outside of GABP, rolled another 200 feet in Sawyer Point/Serpentine Wall, and landed on a piece of driftwood somewhere in the Ohio River. The Ohio River is considered Kentucky's property, meaning Adam Dunn is the only MLB player to hit a home run that landed in another state.
What's surprising is nobody talks about Willie Stargell's 535-ft HR on May 20th, 1978 at Montreal's Olympic Stadium. That ball went to right field, to a narrow band of red seats (all other seats were blue or yellow), and the seat where the ball landed was changed to yellow...!
Fielder and Vaughn were powered by Oscar Meyer and Bud Light
😂😂😂
Mo Vaughn was on steroids too.🤓
Moe Vaughn was powered by hunny buns
@@geewhizz1970 uh huh, and I guess you used to shoot him up yourself, you goddamned STEROID NAZI.
@@billyhollister8768 Don't tell the Feds,SUNSHINE. 💪🤪
Dave Niehaus calling #2 on this list with excitement against his own team is amazing. Most people would be too much of a homer to acknowledge how insane it was just because it was against their team. RIP
R.I.P.
That was the fan in him talking
That's why Dave was a Hall of Fame Broadcaster.
What a call in deed
Absolutely spot on. 🎯
Many days of my youth spent in the Kingdome. Where McGwire hit that is unreal.
“It went out everywhere, right over the top” One of my favorite calls ever
I saw that Glenalan (sp) Hill Homer on wgn as a teenager. I just remember my jaw dropping as it landed on the roof. Up to that point it was the longest, coolest home run I'd ever seen as it happened on television. Before this one my favorite had been the Canseco blast in the skydome in Toronto. It was in the ALCS. Not sure what year it was. 88 89 or 90.
Lol watching the video after my comment I see that the Canseco shot is #1
I agree. I was at that game and lost sight of it. I couldn't understand why people on the roof top were moving around. Found out later what really happened. The crazy thing was that it was a chilly day so the wind usually blows in on colder days. Never found out for sure but I think that the wind was probably blowing in that day.
Jim Thome 511' oppo. You have to be kidding
James Benton Ticer weellll if you go into the fetile position stick a syringe if steroids in your recdom then it’s pretty easy
@@muffin-iwnl-271 can't even spell
That's where his power was - straight away.
I saw him pull a 490' hr at Target Field. He utterly destroyed it.
Its in the midd lol, calm down with oppo.
Reggie Jackson’s homer at Tiger Stadium was still going up when it hit the transformer on top of the roof.
What makes you say that? Are you confusing it with the Mantle HR that hit the YS facade?
That Canseco home run was hit at SkyDome in Toronto in the 1989 ALCS. I was a kid sitting in those 500 level seats when the ball landed near me.
Awesome shots. Was fun to watch. Great video
I was at the Manny game. Staying in Boston for a minute, wanted to see The Pahk. Scalped awesome tickets 25 rows up from 1st base.
Manny hit two absurd bombs that game. Hit Wrigley field earlier on that road trip, Sosa put two into the street that day. Hit old Yankee stadium on the way home, 2 weeks before 9-11.
That was an epic road trip.
Lucky you, I've been a loyal Cleveland Indians fan, ( get outta here with the Guardians crap)...we had Belle, Thome, and Ramirez and would not sign then.... we just let them go for nothing. We also had MVP Kent and traded him. Not going into all the All Stars we let go to the Yankees....Nettles, Chris Chambliss. Maris, and more that I have forgotten....oh we also had Billy Martin
also my all time favorite Rocky Colavito
@@brucetowell3432 best squad ive seen not to get a ring. damn Edgar Renteria.
Darryl strawberry has some serious power in that skinny frame
Yeah he sure does. He is 6'6" though so he probably gets some serious leverage with all that length
@@ButterBallTheOpossum Dave Kingman was another.
He had a beautiful swing
He stroked that ball dude.
Best bat speed maybe ever.
"What a shot by McGwire." The perfect description.
Daryl’s swing was sweet. Teddy ballgame like. I remember watching the asg when Reggie went roof. Awesome.
McGwire in his Testosterone prime looked like a man that could peel the skin off a baseball with his bare hands. Crazy strong.
Right Logan, it’s amazing how strong a player can get after taking steroids and PED’S for the majority of their career! Look at a pic of McGwire when he entered the league and then when he was with the Cardinals! It’s hard to believe it’s the same guy! HE’S A CHEATER, PERIOD!
Big things are possible when you're jacked up on Steroids.
@@ninaappelt9001 You are absolutely right Nina! I have no respect for Professional Athletes that have taken drugs to improve their performance! PERIOD!
@@scottpollack5453 nobody gives a shit, Scott.
You got the crazy part right at least.
I was at the game in Toronto during the playoffs when Canseco hit the shot off Flanagan!! I was sitting across from third base and I consider it one of the greatest sporting moments I ever witnessed !! Into the fifth deck, didnt know it was humanly possible.
All the credit goes to his trainer Mr Roid
It isn’t lol
I’m a hardcore Dodgers fan but even I was jumping around like a little kid when Barry Bonds hit a majestic home run out of Giants stadium and into the bay. I was on the right field catwalk and the ball sailed 70 feet above my head. It was spectacular!!!
I don't know if it is still there but for years #6 was marked with a different colored seat in the upper deck Marlins Park. When I lived in Ft. Lauderdale my buddy and I would sit up there, drink beer all game and heckle the other team. When you see how far that spot from the plate is it is freaking amazing.
I think Reggie's HR in the '71 All Star game is the only blast by a player who didn't have a bowl of supplements for breakfast every morning.
zzyzxx13 steroids were used in the 70’s too
That Dave Kingman one was in the 70's.
@@markflexer117 stfu
I remember that dramatic blast ... plus best unis in baseball history
Depends if you consider being jacked on cocaine a supplement
Dave Niehaus has the most energy by a mile, and the home run was against his team. Amazing
Great curation of clips!
I remember that mo Vaughn homer at Shea. The longest I've ever seen in a game live. Vladimir Guerrero hit one in the third deck in Montreal in 2001 that was estimated at 502 I believe. McGwire has to have the most 475 foot home runs ever, at least 25
The attitude era of baseball. Grew up watching most of these guys and it was amazing.
Modern baseball is garbage compared to 80s/90s/early 00s
Mo Vaughn is one of the most underrated power hitters in the history of baseball. He was fun to watch!
Not when he came to Anaheim..I'm still bitter about that!!
@@RM-TheOctoroon or even new york! That was his only highlight as a Met
I still hate Dan Duquette
Loved having him on the Mets for a bit
And one of I think 3 players allowed to wear #42 after it was retired league wide
Miss those guys belting homeruns. Exciting times.
Mickey Mantle was five 11 1/2 weighed 190 pounds show of muscle natural muscle as his home runs were further than all of them. He coined the term tape measure home run.
Is nobody going to talk about that beautiful sound at 4:52 when Galarraga makes contact? My god. Just from that sound you know that ball was hit into space.
Joseph Najarian it’s beauty
The sound of the CRACK from Reggie Jackson's blast in the 71 All Star Game in Detroit. Don't think I've ever heard a crack that loud.
Make the time 4:48
The Big Cat was an absolute monster. What a gorgeous swing.
EL GATO GRAANDEE!!!!.....
And he had a vacuum for a glove at 1B. Great player.
ESPN Home Run Tracker stated that Big Cat's homer was only 468 feet. That's absolutely ridiculous.
And he hit for average too - complete package
Venezuelan Power baby!
i saw Frank Thomas hit the furthest ball i have ever seen at Fenway park near the end of his career. I could not believe how high and far the thing went. It was nuts. I've seen Manny and Ortiz hit some really long ones too being a Red Sox fan who has been to Fenway numerous times
I remember the Canseco shot in Toronto. For the longest time he was the only player to reach the upper deck at the SkyDome... and he was a visiting player!
Without the juice that piece of shit cheat couldn't have hit it past third base.
Back when Nelson Cruz was on the M's He launched a ball out of SafeCo field during BP. It was just left of center field. Easily a 600 foot shot. That field is huge. All the early birds wandering the stadium were in disbelief and slack jawed.
Bullshit if you think he hit the ball 600 feet.
@@bauerj3398 Have you been to the Mariners field? That place is huge. There’s a lot of infrastructure just past center field to get over/behind to actually leave the park. The bullpen coaches said it was the furthest they’ve ever seen anybody hit a ball. And they were in their late 50’s at least.
@@ice788 Doesn't matter how huge the field is or how hard you think he hit it. Nelson Cruze was not generating 20% more bat speed than prime, jacked up McGwire, Canseco, Dunn, etc.. that would be like saying, I saw pitcher XXX throwing warm-ups, and he was throwing 125 miles per hour easy. I don't care that the fastest they ever had Nolan Ryan throw was 108, and the fastest for Chapman was 105. Player XXX was really throwing SUPER DUPER hard.
This highlight reel brought to you by steroids
😂
lol
And cocaine
Back then, Everybody was juiced up. The fans, the players, the venders and the bases were all juiced up.
Imagine how much torque they generate to hit a ball that far. Much respect to the guys who did it without drugs
Forgot Kirk Gibson’s blast in 1983 off of Boston’s Mike Brown. It was measured @ 524 ft. It was hit in old Tiger Stadium. It cleared the right field roof and settled on the roof of the lumber yard across Trumbull Ave. A truly prodigious shot.
As a Red Sox fan, I cringe when I hear Mike Brown. He was truly awful.
LOL, Dave Niehaus makes these other commentators sound like they're half asleep... my ohhhh my!!!
Joey Eng love how excited for the call he was even if it was a homer for the other team.
Dave "Kong" Kingman is my favorite player of all time and I feel HoF worthy. I remember that '79 season very well and saw 3 HR sail over our heads that day! Had Kong not been hurt and missed so much time I have no doubt he would have had at least 60 that year if not more. He did this without steroids! Look at how lanky and non muscular he was. Pure power!
HoF ? Are you out of your mind? Oh wait, you're a Cubs fan. Nevermind
@@dwpalme2670 Yeah smartass you are totally wrong. Not a cubs fan at all! Yes I do think hitting over 400 hrs is HoF worthy> So What?
He was long and lean and strong like Daryl Strawberry, both could generate a tremendous amount of torque and force with their swings
Glenallen Hill was a legend on every team he played for. The baggy jersey hiding the 💪 underneath.
6:42 how could anyone not see something was wrong with McGwire? Just look at him in the '89 series and him in 2000. He looks like a freak of nature
I mean, lots of people did. It was a running joke how he went from skinny kid to the Hulk. That exactly why people started asking questions that lead to the whole steroid scandal.
He's huge in both. 10 years of age and weightlifting...that's really not as crazy of a transformation as people make it out to be.
@@ericfellner2689 exactly who doesn’t put on mass from 26-37.

The Kingman home run at 5:25 was during the famous 23-22 game vs the Phillies in 1979. He hit it off of Ron Reed in the 6th.
He hit another that hit a door and the homeowner opened it to see no one.
@@shrapnel77 he actually hit 3 that game. Incidentally, Ron Reed is being inducted onto the Phillies Wall of Fame this weekend(8/6/22).
@@shrapnel77 I just watched Ron Reed's speech tonight as he was put on the Phillies Wall of Fame and he told a story of when he was brought in to pitch and after his warmups he was set to pitch and Bob Boone wouldn't give him any signs. This went on for a couple of minutes until Boone simply told him, "Throw anything you like, it's not going to get to me anyway". It was this game he was talking about. LOL.
I remember that game as a Teenager...👍👍
ONLY the CUBS can score 22 runs in a single game and STILL LOSE the game! 🙄
This is when baseball was FUN to watch!
Man i miss the old days growing up watching these legends
2:40 I remember watching this game live as a kid (huge Braves fan, but I also loved Mo Vaughn)..still one of most impressive homers I've ever seen
..moon shot
Canseco, mcguire, henderson, bonds, rodregous (sp.?). What a bunch of bums..there claim to fame was keeping the steroid business in the black. Never was impressed by someone all geeked up thinking they were impressive at the plate. When they were at bat i left the room...
In a backyard wiffle ball game, I once belted a homer that was guesstimated at 119 feet. It was an historic monster blast!! 🤟
Must be juicing! :)
You wiffed
@@snyder_fine_art Your mom wiffed
I through a cutter (wiffle) that cut 119 ft.
That is quite the blast for whiffle ball
Was at Skydome when Jim Thome hit one into the mid-deck Centerfield restaurant. The waitress dropped her tray of food ! Musta been over 500. Shawn Green actually smiled in the outfield as he watched Thome round the bases. May have been the only time miserable Green ever smiled as a Blue Jay.
1:25 Cecil Fielder didn’t use roids. He was well known to use barbecue and potato salad instead. 😂
I love Reggie Jackson's bat flip! It has incredible swagger!
Gallaraga's was an absolute moonshot. ESPN's stat tracker placing that at 468 feet is beyond laughable - even to the eye. That almost left a football stadium. There is no universe where that is a sub-500 foot home run.
That’s the most > 500ft looking home run I’ve ever seen.
The Big Cat had serious power.
You don’t know much about the old marlins stadium obviously
@@jerryjackson7813 What do you mean, don't know much about old Marlins stadium?
Everyone of these players was pumpin stuff
I don’t care what anyone says. That ball last year in Seattle that Shohei hit to the upper deck was insane. It had to be further then it posted.
6:40 The best call "That was belted, and I mean belted deep to left field!"
2:07 The worst call was the one where the guy didn't even acknowledge the distance. Adam Dunn's home run.
Galarraga’s grand slam was the most impressive to me. Wow
Why? It was a short park for the Marlins back then. Right hitters loved it. Left hitters dreaded it. It was impressive but definitely not the most impressive
almost went past the nosebleed tarp
Manny was so graceful and easy with his swing, and it just goes a mile.
Holy Funkbalz Mcgwire! 2/3 swing and his forearms just flatout scare the ball 520+!!!! Incredible Power Hitter!🤘
Minute 4:48 The homerun big ever in history...The Big Cat Galarraga..
the longest in history and without steroids
was robbed. upper deck 570Feet.
That home run was later revised downward. That's funny that anyone would think he was clean. I'm no hater - when everyone in the sport (practically) was enhanced, you can hardly consider it cheating - it was and still is just part of the game, and people like that game better than they liked the natural game when there was only one true power hitter on each team.
Wow these balls are destroyed!!!
Woahhhhh

I remember Jose Canseco hit a HR off Nolan Ryan (100 mph fastball). The shot went over the shortstop playing over 2nd base in a line drive. I thought for a moment the short stop might have a chance, then it went up from there. I thought the center fielder might have a chance, but it just kept going. Then I thought, I might have a chance (center field seats), but it just kept going on a linear path (line drive). When it went over my head, I heard like what sounded like a fighter jet sound. It made a shoooooshhhhing sound right over my head. I was ready to hit the floor if needed, because there is no way I was going to attempt to catch it, at that speed.
Hits the front porch of the 3rd house down! Lol love that
Mark McGuire hitting a Randy Johnson fastball to knock himself and Jose Canseco in is the most 90’s baseball thing ever 😊
What is wrong with you? Celebrating two of the biggest fucking cheats in MLB?
No way in hades Glenallen Hill’s ball was 500 ft. The ball landed on the damn roof across the street from the outfield. I’d guess more like 550’.
Wow
I GPSed it and it says approximately 538 ft. Nuts.
Hill said after the game "I must have hit that ball 700 feet". The original scorer measured it to be around 480 feet. Did they reevaluate it at some point and change it to 500 feet?
And his follow through wasn’t even the smoothest out of all of them! It almost looked like an “excuse me” swing. It’s nuts how much power he put into that short swing.
It was quoted as 500 feet the day that it happened, or the next day (actually, I recall 511 feet being given as the number). I remember that. He hit another bomb at yankee stadium later after he left the cubs, but I don't remember the distance.
The mcgwire and canseco home runs, and probably gallaraga were all reduced significantly by later more accurate measurements. When most of these were hit, anything that went high into the upper deck got oversold as a 500 footer when a lot wouldn't have traveled much further. IIRC, the gallaraga ball was later revised to 460-something, as was the canseco ball.
The first home run, I've never seen anybody hit a ball as clean as he did... He didn't even have to use any power, that just goes to show you when you hit the sweet spot on the ball.
that Canseco homer was still on an upward trajectory when it got to the 5th level in Toronto, no telling how far that could have traveled, 540 is lowballing it
I find it amazing that Mickey Mantle hit a homerun 562 feet and was 5'11" and weighed 195 pounds!
He was not quite as powerful, but Willie Mays was in the 5-10'" to 11" and 180-190 range and hit 660 homers in a career.
It's all bat speed. These steroid monsters don't hit it any farther than the regular guys who are just talented. It matters how fast you can make the bat travel, how fast the pitch was, and how solidly you hit it (including trajectory). Mantle was an astonishing talent and if we had 4K TV then (not to mention safe outfields) he would have been the greatest hitter ever......EASY.
Mantle was 5-11 215 in his prime.
@@SDesWriter do you have down syndrome?
Strawberry was 6'5" and 115lbs at one point. When he hit that he in this video he was twacked out of his gord on crack
brings back memories when I was 12 years old in 74 or 75 when Dave Kingman hit three monstrous homers at Dodger Stadium......
I don't care what anybody says, Darryl Strawberry's homerun was the longest ever hit in the history of this planet. He hit "the top of the stadium" ...nufsaid.
Canseco denting a seat back in Toronto.
@@billygraham2132 Not as far
Cool highlight video. I don’t particularly like baseball, but this was a fun watch.
Feel the POWAAHH! Roids or no roids baseball was special to watch during this time.
The description of Kingmans is the best!😂
Daryll Strawberry's would have kept going but it hit the roof. Easily the longest hit ball in mlb history!
Noce to see 'Big Cat' Gallarage in action again. Loved having him in Atlanta while we did.
Mickey mantle hit a ball 575 feet. No steroids . Greatest power hitter of all time
I was going to read every comment if needed until finding yours
No roids, but I wonder if he used greenies. They were in all clubhouses back in those days.
every era likely had a substance
Do you clowns even know steroids were around DECADES before Mantle's career? Don't be so confidently naive.
Willie Stargell hit a mammoth shot too. I miss baseball.
Its crazy to see all these beefed up dudes smashing these deep homeruns and then comes along skinny Darryl Strawberry and he does it too
I saw Griffey jr hit one so hard once that I’ll remember it forever. A screamer that appeared, from the cheap seats, to not break 20ft high. It barely apexed before it hit the seats
