Who hit the longest homerun at Fenway Park?

Question

I heard it was Ted Williams but not sure.

Answer 1

The lone red seat in the right field bleachers (Section 42, Row 37, Seat 21), signifies the spot where the longest measurable home run ever hit inside Fenway Park landed. Ted Williams hit the home run on June 9, 1946 off Fred Hutchinson of the Detroit Tigers. The shot was measured at 502 feet (153 m) and, as legend has it, crashed through the straw hat of Sox fan Joe Boucher. Contemporary analysis by HitTracker has estimated the true distance of the home run to be between 520 and 535 feet, due to the elevation of the Fenway bleachers. No other player at Fenway Park has ever hit that seat since, although David Ortiz has come close.

Answer 2

The red seat marks Ted Williams last homerun. Babe Ruth hit the longest homeruns at Fenway Park. I'm reading a book that documents all of Babe's homeruns. He hit several out of center field and out of right field with Fenway's old dimensions in the 1920's that went farther than any ball hit at Fenway.

Answer 3

The red seat is for Ted WIlliams last home run hit at Fenway. I believe Rob Deer has the lnogest at Fenway at 520 ft.

Answer 4

I'm gonna say Mark McGwire at the 1999 Home Run Derby in Boston. That dude cleared left field, over the street where people were waiting for home run balls and it even cleared them by 40-50 ft at least. It was a bomb!!!!

Answer 5

You are correct tough guy. I believe it was something like 504 ft, they marked the spot with a red seat, it is the only 1 in Fenway that is red.

Answer 6

I have seen baseballs hit the train tracks behind the park. Not sure if any went onto the Mass Pike.

Answer 7

Lou Gerigh hit a 518 ft bomb over the monster

Answer 8

Bucky Dent
