what was the longest home run
On April 4th, 1988, Darryl Strawberry opened the season for the Mets with this blast that on its way out to right field hit the top of the roof. The blast has been measured as a 525 foot home run from Strawberry, which ended being first the longest one of his 39 on the season. It was such a literal moonshot into the roof that it came down onto the field of play after smacking the top of the stadium like a bullet.
