Thanks for posting this C!

I can't do video well at work but I'll check it out later.

One I saw in person that you'll appreciate is when Canseco hit one FOUL behind 3rd base all the way out of the old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. Two pitches and a mound conference later, he hit a "regular" Fair HR too...

Longest MLB Home Run I ever saw was Darryl Strawberry hitting one off the ivy covered wall in Camden Yards CF.
Close 2nd was seeing Mo Vaughn almost hitting one out to right field at Memorial Stadium.
Longest ball I ever saw hit was in 1993 Home run Derby by Juan Gonzalez off the facing of the 3rd deck at Camden Yards.
Longest minor league home run I ever saw was hit by Juan Diaz at Bowie Baysox Stadium in 2003. Most impressive thing about it was that he hit it completly out of the stadium and one could actually see it land on flat ground way past the left field fence.

Saw Cal Ripken do the same thing once at Memorial Stadium, do not recall the result of the remainder of the AB.

Id put Barry Bonds' Blast in Yankee Stadium in 2002 up there with all of them ....ie the Canseco indoor one, the RJackson '71 AS game one, the Mantle one in Washington, the Glen Allen Hill one in Chicago, the Kingman one in Chicago, Galarraga in Denver and Miami, etc, etc.

Bonds' HR (Lefty off Lefty) seemed to be still climbing when it imbedded into the upper upper deck 1.5 seconds later

The Bonds HR is like watching wrestling...bogus!

I enjoyed the reactions of many of the announcers, who got pretty excited about how far these homers traveled. There was one (obviously the opposing team's announcer) who was a dry as toast about it, though. That made it even more funny.
