How do we know that he hit the farthest balls ever? I'm sure Mickey could launch the ball like anyone today, but these distances were most likely exaggerated, much like Bob Feller claiming that he threw 106 MPH in his prime....

No one saw his famous "565" foot home run land, a reporter guessed where it landed the next day. Not exactly scientific.




> > how does a man thats 6' 195 hit the farthest homeruns ever. AND big guys like mguire,bonds sosa,hit bombs, but no where close to what mantle did. what kind of bat speed must this guy have had compared to all the others. I guess it must have been swinging that sledge hammer
