Whatever they say, this is the longest home run in MLB history, the wind is not an excuse, in an American football stadium, almost above the entire second floor, without steroids, pure power. The
Big Cat from Venezuela
he was a steroid era player. who cares if he's from your country, he put on big weight and big power numbers right in the sweet spot of that era.
@@hw5091 Pujols, Guerrero, and others played in the steroid era. None was juicing. Where is your evidence that Galarraga was on steroids?
@@kajunshaman yeah and nearly all nfl players and olympic lifters haven't been officially linked to drug use either. In another event, santa claus is coming to town, just wait up for him.
@@hw5091 I rather wait for Santa Claus than to tarnish someone's achievement without proof, which you obviously haven't found. Olympic athletes have been caught using PEDs in all eras. But your logic is that because roids exist at all, any athlete that succeeds is suspect to juicing.
@@hw5091 Pedro Martinez, Griffey Jr., Gwynn, Chipper Jones, McGriff...they also succeeded in the Roids era. Where's the report, investigation, legal case that "links" them to Roids use? Other than your speculation. Remember, MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL. I'm not talking about the olympics or NFL
529 ft at sea level in Miami is likely the most impressive home run in baseball history
The sea level part of this is severely underrated.
@@David-ig5rz to be fair it was stupid humid
@@David-ig5rzAlmost half the stadiums are at sea level. For some reason people think just Miami is. Humid air also helps the ball go further. Still, this homer is pornographic.
I remember watching this game live and telling my granny, that's it, that's the longest homerun ever hit! Before they even announced the distance. NO WAY this is not the longest HR all time!
They say its 498 ft WHICH IS A JOKE! It's closer to 600. This man has the best swing I have ever seen.
@@cwmonkeyman over 700
Han Yolo it was 527 ft
600 minimum
Dude im so with you. I been to joe robby stadium and someome showed me where ball hit, thats is a long ways from home plate
My all time favorite player :)
I don’t know if im wrong, but i saw this HR in slowmo, to see where it actually landed, and i think it landed above where this video actually shows, way closer to be out of the stadium, before the camera loses the ball and appeared again the ball landed to me, because it stopped and then appeared bouncing down... for me its the longest HR ever hitted, sea level, with a dense air
I thought it hit of the orange wall at the very top and rolled down when I saw it live. I still maintain this is the longest homerun ever!
I'm a Dodgers fan, but I always liked Galarraga. I remember watching this home run on fox Saturday baseball. At the time, I was nine years and had just started to play baseball, it was unreal to see someone hit a ball so hard and far.
He almost hit a baseball out of a football stadium…truly amazing!
We all know that’s the longest home run ever hit
I keenly remember McGwire hitting one upper deck center field at Pro Player Stadium against Livan Hernandez. It landed in about the same spot in the stands as this one but to dead center. Imo that was the longest one hit.
I remember getting to see this on tv when it happened. Talk about a group of guys running around and screaming their heads off. I still agree with the original length posted on the scoreboard. El Gato Grande got screwed on the distance because no one wantes Mantle's record broken. Don't get me wrong! Mick was, is, and always will be a legend. However, I think his legendary status screwed another legend in AG.
Man I wish this wasn't hit in an enclosed stadium - I would have loved to have seen how far it would have gone if there was nothing there to break its' flight. At Wrigley this probably would have made the roof of the buildings across the street - at Fenway it would have landed on the highway most likely.
Have to agree with you there. I wonder if it would have gone six...maybe even seven if it had been in an opened up park.
It WAS outside. It was at the Miami Dolphins FOOTBALL stadium. That's why we all marvel at how far it went! Football stadiums are bigger and higher than baseball stadiums.
0:41 "Shiiiietttt"
is that Todd Helton? yes it is
I saw that too haha
I remember later in this game they threw at his head and he charged the mound. They felt he disrespected them by hitting the longest HR in baseball off Kevin Brown on their turf. He didn’t do anything rude or showing off. Watch these kids today like Tatis Jr. or Carlos Carerra - literally standing in the batter’s box with bat in hand watching it land before they some bat flip and then taunt the other team or make some dumb hand gesture. Players back then had a code and they played with class (I sure wouldn’t want the Big Cat running at me fist clinched!), today it’s show off as much as you can.
That's awesome you remember him charging mound. I was looking for that footage. Not many people remember he got plunked after that mammoth blast!
His hip out of the box and the bat toss was as epic as the shot itself
I was at this game as a child and I didn't know a person could hit that far.
Frickin bomb. The only HR to compare was the 1976 shot Kingman hit at Wrigley while a Met. Both zeroing in on 600 ft.
McGwire hitting the back wall of the old Kingdome off of Randy Johnson is up there too.
Big Cat...Big Homerun.
Big Cat !
Imagine with that power he hit it back to the pitcher!!
RIP Kevin Brown if that happened
Looked like 579 feet to me......upper deck......I mean c'mon??
Not just upper deck, but like 20 rows back, and not right down the left field line. Absolutely insane how far Galarraga hit that ball.
If that had been in Toronto, there would have been a sell out crowd! Wow!
737 ft.
I'm a die hard Yankees fan but this right here imo was farther than mantle's and prolly the farthest ball ever hit,period
Fred Patek. Once hit 3 home runs in the same game.
Further than you all say..... Tape measure......
Como diría el BETO PERDOMO TREMENDO PALO CABALLERO FUE LO QUE DIO ANDRES EN ESTE TURNO THE BIG CAT # 14
The big CAT
Of courser they won't let a Latin player beat an American player. but everybody knows he did it
amazing galarraga is the monster
I'm surprised Kevin Brown didn't throw a hissy fit!
Like many others. This was part of an espn game highlight I watched that day. At age 14, I marveled at the near 500 ft shots. When my eyes saw this for the first time that day I thought no way have I ever witnessed a more sensational sight than when that man bear hit that ball so perfectly. It was a forever memory instantly. I say 530 plus. Just edging me out of my furthest.
Some one mentioned fox Saturday baseball. That’s where I saw it not espn.
Society for American Baseball Research did an analysis on this and came to the conclusion that it was between 517 and 529 feet, with the most probable distance being 524. No one can tell me otherwise, I believe this is the furthest baseball ever hit
Too bad the Big Cat played all those years in Montreal. Just imagine the numbers he would have had.
Great moment.. I believe the Marlins won that game then won the World Series that year.. but great moment lol
El Gato Grande
Clase de palo
Barry Bonds right field upper deck Homer at Yankee stadium was farther....
No fucking way. His was impressive but it was down the line. RF is like 310 there. This one was WAY further.
Wrong!
That's a short right porch at Yankee Stadium. This is in a football stadium! The dimensions at Joe Robbie were huge in left field. The left center fence at field level was over 430 feet! From Home plate to the back of the upper deck at Yankee Stadium is only 440 feet!
Why isn't he in the Hall of Fame
Por ser latino no está tiene mejores números que algunos que ya están y aún así no esta
His numbers aren’t quite there. If he had played 2 more average seasons for him (30 home runs, 100 RBI) he would definitely be a borderline candidate
