- Ask any Red Sox fan, and they’ll enthusiastically tell you that the longest home run every hit at Fenway Park came off the bat of Ted Williams. The home run in question, hit by Williams on June 9, 1946, is said to have traveled 502 feet. Today, the seat on which the baseball landed is red, while the rest of the seats in the right field bleachers are green.
Unfortunately, Statcast wasn’t around to track home run distance when Teddy Ballgame was playing, nor when Manny was being Manny and launching baseballs into the Boston night.
In this list, we’re counting down the 10 longest home runs at Fenway Park as of the conclusion of the 2021 season. It’s important to note that these home runs are only from 2015 onward, when MLB’s Statcast began to officially track the distance of each MLB home run.
Here’s a look at the 10 longest home runs at Fenway Park in Boston.
The 10 Longest Home Runs at Fenway Park are:
1. Miguel Sanó - 495 feet
2. Gary Sánchez - 479 feet
3. Hanley Ramirez - 469 feet
4. Bo Bichette - 468 feet
5. Manny Machado - 466 feet
6. Nelson Cruz - 465 feet
7. C.J. Cron - 464 feet
8. Brandon Lowe - 459 feet
9. Rafael Devers - 457 feet
10. Carlos Correa - 455 feet - Sport
The ONLY game I ever attended in Fenway was in 1975, a night game against the Royals. Jim Rice hit a blistering high-line drive near the flag pole that just disappeared into the night. In the papers the next day some described it as the longest home run ever there. Of course, there was no way to measure it.
My attempts to find any video of it came up empty.
Not sure why it keeps deleting my comment but look up “Jim Rice Red Sox Slugger highlights 1975-1978”. Go to 3:05 in the video. It might be the clip you’re talking about it.
@@vlo23-54 Thanks for the effort but the one I'm talking about was off of Steve Busby and was more in center field, nearer the flag pole. Tom Yawkey, the Boston owner at the time, said it was the longest home run he saw at Fenway.
all road guys?
Lots of visiting players, but a few Red Sox in there!
I noticed the same thing
My god number 1 was there not a better feed???
Stupid not to mention Ted Willams 502 footer. They have it marked
It said 424 on #9 for Devers
You saw that?
Jack Clark's monster didn't make this list? I believe it was the longest home run I ever seen at Fenway.
All road guys teeing off on classic Red Sox shitty pitching 😅
Missing a few bombs including Ted's,
I think it's the 10 that he has footage of. Tony Perez hit a bomb off Bill Lee's blooper pitch in the 1975 WS that cleared the wall. Dick Stuart hit one that landed on the railroad tracks along the Mass Pike extension, and Pete Incaviglia hit one that broke the windshield of my friend's car, which was parked in the rooftop lot of a print shop on Landsdowne St.
It's the 10 longest of the Statcast era. Thanks for sharing those memories - awesome!
Any pre-Statcast home run measurement has to be taken with a grain of salt. The human limit on home runs seems to be around 510-515 feet in game conditions with game balls. MAYBE Harmon Killebrew's 520-footer (franchise record for the Washington Senators I/Minnesota Twins) is legit. But anything over that seems to be the product of exaggeration and marketing.
