Looking through game logs to document a 6-run comeback in the bottom of the 9th and came across this (part of that inning):

I've never seen a HR bigger. Had to double take to make sure it didn't say 452 feet. Just wish I'd watched this game.

And before anybody says, 'if you put the fences at 600 feet you'll have plenty of 600+ feet home runs,' or something similar

this is a game-generated park. The only edits i have made are to give it a retractable roof. Here are its specs:

This isn't a HR park, either, and definitely not for lefties. If I'm reading the PbP right, he hit it down the RF line, too, so this one went something like 220 feet past the fence...

maybe it was a roof top shot ,.... and 552 ft would NOT be a record even in the real world. like those who have hit a home run over the roof at Tiger Stadium and that's well over 500 foot shot

When I lived in Charleston, West Virginia, there was a local legend that a Class AAA slugger hit one that landed in a coal-train car and ended up in Kentucky.

The 15 Longest Home Runs Ever Hit

Not sure how accurate it is, but an interesting read/watch.
