July 6, 200521 yr I was playing MVP baseball the other day in old Tiger Stadium with the Reds... Armando Benitez threw a high fastball to Adam Dunn which I proceeded to jump all over and hit OUT of Tiger Stadium, similar to the '71 Reggie Jackson shot, but clearing the press box by a good 10 feet the only thing is, the distance meter didn't even pop up, so now I'm wondering, How far was that bomb?
July 6, 200521 yr Well, if Reggie Jacksons was over 500 feet then, if it cleared it, maybe 550 or somethin..
July 7, 200521 yr Author I do know that Reggie Jackson's Homerun was 520'... but I figure that since it was actually unobstructed... and maybe add another 10' to the pinnacle of the height... I dunno, their is probably some strange math to it?
July 7, 200521 yr i hit one 617 out of wrigley with Delgado. The ball cleared the stadium and sailed into the City and the meter went to 617' i was watching it waiting for it to stop and was amazed.
July 7, 200521 yr Losing 3-1 to the Devil Rays @ Tropicana I hit a GS with Pierre in the Top of the 9th to win 5-3. How awosme.
July 7, 200521 yr I hit one tonight 483 with Marcus Thames of all people... off Pettitte in Minute Maid. That's probably my longest. I usually blast them good with Burnitz. He's my favorite player on the game
July 7, 200521 yr Depends on what park you're in. I've hit some monsters that can't clear 400 because of signs and other obstructions. The longest one off the top of the head I can remember is 490.
July 7, 200521 yr I hit one OUT of coors field with Mike Lowell once..went around 560, 570.. Then Cabrera hit one that went 491 as the next batter that went to the Upper Deck in right lol
July 7, 200521 yr im the yankees in a dynasty so i have those upper decks that will stop the balls from traveling..... they are bombs but they fall into the seats and it stops at like 370!!!!
July 7, 200521 yr Once with A Rod at Coors Field with the wind blowing out at it's highest setting I hit a 630ft. bomb to LCF. Cleared the top of the Coor Field scoreboard.
July 7, 200521 yr I do know that Reggie Jackson's Homerun was 520'... but I figure that since it was actually unobstructed... and maybe add another 10' to the pinnacle of the height... I dunno, their is probably some strange math to it? 842547[/snapback] The lights at Tiger Stadium were so close to the field. That distance estimate has to be an estimate of how far it would have gone without it being obstructed. If I remember correctly these distances are the distance without being obstructed.
July 8, 200521 yr What level are you playing on? 560 or 570? I don't believe it. 844490[/snapback] Coors Field dude, wind blowing out too..

July 12, 200521 yr I miss the error in MVP 2004 where you'd pop out foul near the dugout and it'd be a homerun
July 13, 200521 yr I miss the error in MVP 2004 where you'd pop out foul near the dugout and it'd be a homerun 852182[/snapback] :lol are you serious?!
July 13, 200521 yr I've hit 2 500+ shots in the regular season, but they have to be in old ballparks, mine were at Fenway and Wrigley.
