Roberto Clemente, Forbes Field, May 31, 1964
On May 31, 1964, Roberto Clemente took a hanging curve from star Dodger pitcher Sandy Koufax and smashed it deep to left center field at Pittsburgh's famed Forbes Field. The ball struck a light tower in left-center field approximately 457 feet from home plate, at a height of about 32 feet above field level. With a temperature of 61 degrees and calm winds, Hit Tracker estimates this massive homer at 485 feet, coming off the bat at 124.5 mph. Truly a magnificent home run!
