- There's a cut at around 3:00 because Jim Thomes homerun was copyrighted and would've blocked this video:( sorry guys
Link to the original video: • Longest Home Runs Ever...
Fun fact about number three: Adam Dunn hit that ball out of the stadium and into the river that borders Ohio and Kentucky, so he hit the ball into another state,
Damn never realized that's for the fun fact
I was at that game. That shot was like a laser beam. It just shot out of there.
What if he had hit it in Mexico CIty where the air is thinner?
It is an absolute tragedy we never got to see Adam Dunn in a home run derby.
@@mets137781 we don't care.
I love when he converts the American measurements to Metrics. He goes from being impressed, to super impressed once he has the full understanding lol. My favorite.
He's liked shocked, "132 meters!?!?!!???!!!??!!??"
I think he would impressed with high school baseball game.
Most of these dudes are on steroids. Especially during this time period
Helen G. Pitts no one asked or cares. Good for you. Now get back in the kitchen!
2016 mlb playoffs highlights the craziest thing ever
Dr. Frazier 2017 too
2019
Proud Nats Fan Kobester44 nah not as good as 2017 and 2016
that rain delay was bs and you know it
Alicia Kaffen Jason heyward 😂
I love when he reacts to baseball
Ive been bugging him for a long time to react to baseball, I knew once he saw some videos he would get hooked.
React to best outfield throws and home run robs
I think he’s done outfield throws
I love it when you go to google in the middle of a video and look up stuff like pounds > stones and feet > meters. You are too cool for school.
Please react to “The beauty of hockey: the greatest game on the planet” video gives me chills everytime and really shows what the sport is about
BRO React to the 2019 home run derby "Vlad Guerrero jr and Joc Pederson have an EPIC round at home run derby" video. Also react to 2017 World Series Game 5 highlights!!!! These will make you fall in love with baseball!!
I was there, it was awesome to see in person, caught one of Pete Alonso's blasts.
please react to “The Top 100 Plays in 2019” on MLB’s channel!! :)
Would they block my video like the nfl do?
@@lavluka6210 Probably
You had a question about fans allowed in a game, about how many other teams fans are allowed in a home game.
Anyone can go to a game no matter what team you support or what jersey you wear.
Nor do the road teams fans have to be separated into their own section from the home team fans... We root for our teams, we don't fight for them...
Back in the 90's, I got to witness Barry Bonds on The Giants blast homeruns, at least 7 times I can remember. The feelings are intense. Excitement, goosebumps, and pride in your team and city flood the body. You feel like you're apart of history. Watching Bonds as a kid, I'd say I was. Very few things are as beautiful as that.
Legend has it Babe Ruth hit one 575 feet, but it can't be confirmed
LoganFuzz didn’t happen
Will Y how are you so sure we’re you alive back then
Snip3r Assassain Because I’ve done research on what makes a baseball travel far. Ive created launch calculators that incorporate moment of inertia and launch angles and also done research on how bat material affects exit velocity. As a mechanical engineering major this is something that interests me. Here’s a few reasons why this didn’t happen.
Greater pitch speed = further launch distance. Pitchers throw harder today than in 1919. Babe Ruth hit his homerun on the east coast at a low elevation with zero advantage with thin air like in Colorado. Babe Ruth has garbage hitting mechanics that make it unlikely for him to have a bat speed that rivals modern hitters.
Simply put, if the massive 6’6 Giancarlo Stanton that has the highest (maybe second) exit velocity in modern baseball and can only hit a ball 504 feet in Coors Field in Colorado, I doubt a fat alcoholic can hit a ball 70+ feet further.
Babe Ruth would also after batting walk over to a bar for a drink then come back to the stadium to play
Not all, but many of these are from the "steroid era" in the 90's and 2000's where these guys were jacked up on steroids and nobody did anything to stop it
This is true but you still gotta hit major league pitching 😂💪
Roids didn't help them actually hit the ball lol........ya still have to make contact. For every player that excelled in the roid era there are 2 that sucked.
Brady Anderson
I swear this dude just had 6k subscribers earlier today
Great vids 👍🏾
I think he was 200 three month ago.
Bro it's crazy the support you guys are giving me is so incredible man
Search for “Nolan Arenado highlights” and you will see clip after clip of the greatest infield defense imaginable
YES!!!!
Not in any way a Rockies fan, but it's hard to argue with that.
Me neither! But he’s that good.
As much as #2 hurt to watch back in '97 and still today, you know it's a monumental achievement when an opposing homer gets Dave Neihaus excited. Speaking of, you should do a video on Dave's top 10 Mariners moments. The greatest man to ever call the game of baseball.
World Series (World Cup) (The team winners of the NLCS and ALCS go against each other in a best of 7 series) - Finals
ALCS/NLCS (Best of 7 series) (Pennant) (American/National Championship Series) - Semi-Finals

AL/NL Wild Card (Best of one) - To see who goes to the ALDS/NLDS
Also away fans are allowed to go to home games, any amount unless tickets are sold out, they'd just have to travel to the stadium. Baseball games last a total of 9 innings, there are a top and bottom of each inning. If the game is tied after the bottom of the bottom of the ninth, the game goes into extra innings, (over time) the extra innings will last until one team has the lead after the bottom of an inning. If the game is tied in the bottom, extra innings or the ninth inning, if someone hits a home run, the game is over. (only if they're home team) If the away team leads in the top of ninth, the home team has one more chance to score, if they don't, the away team wins. If they tie it, the game goes into extra innings. If they get the lead in the bottom of the ninth, they win.
If a ball is going out of the park, it is a home run, if it is going to be a home run and someone catches it, it is called a robbery, it acts as if it was caught normally. You are also allowed to stand up, it happens all of the time and it'd kinda be stupid if it wasn't aloud XD
There are also 4 types of home runs, depending on how many people are on base. If there is no one on, it's a solo home run, it counts for 1 point. If there is 1 person on base, it's a two run home run, it counts for 2 points. If there are 2 people on base, it's a three run home run, it counts for 3 points. If there are 3 people on base, this means the bases are loaded, no one else can get one unless they get a hit and let them score, but when a home run is hit with the bases loaded, it's called a *grand slam*, this is the highest amount of points that can be scored in one swing/hit. It counts as 4 points.
Fielders also HAVE to wear gloves, they aren't allowed to play that inning without the glove. It is *NOT* optional.
Thank you for reading, this will be copied to your latest baseball video as of January 2nd - 2020. This was ORIGINALLY typed on *British Soccer fan reacts to American Sports (Baseball) - MLB Craziest/Loudest Crowd Reactions*
One world series story I'd like you to react too is the Chicago Cubs 2016 comeback, as they were down 3 games to 1, and had to win 3 games in a *row* to win the *world series.* It was also important because they hadn't won a world series in over *108 years*, so if they lost the world series, they may not have even been a team anymore. So a lot was on the line.
Have a nice day and maybe this can help you understand a little more about the game.
*~Acorn259 / Chase*
The first one was at Wrigley Field in Chicago, one of the small number of parks where it's possible to hit one completely out of the stadium. The architecture of the place is so open that the owners of buildings across the street from Wrigley set up grandstands on their roofs. The one by Dave Kingman at 4:34 was also at Wrigley.
The one by Reggie Jackson at 4:56 was in the 1971 All Star Game in Detroit's Tiger Stadium (now gone, replaced by Comerica Park in the year 2000). It was still rising when it hit the light standard.
For most of these, the distance is an estimate of where the ball would have landed if nothing had been in the way.
As for how they do it: Major League ballplayers have stunning hand speed, reactions, and hand-eye coordination.
It’s missing the money shot from #1 where they took a camera up to the upper deck and filmed the fan who caught the ball holding it with home plate literally in the distance. Home runs are really what brings a lot of people out to the ballpark to see a game. A man smashing a towering, majestic home run into the outfield seats is a pretty awe-inspiring thing to witness.
Do Bartolo colon home run vid
Fun fact about McGuire's HR: It actually dotted the "I" in Budweiser. That sign hung in Progressive Field for around 20 years and he was the only one to hit the scoreboard let alone dot the I
In 2019 Nomar Mazara hit about a 506 feet homer run.
Superman 4444 yep
Nice spelling
Thanks for letting us see these. Always fun to see home runs.
I love it when the ball is hit so far that the outfielders don't even move. They just stand there and watch. To hit a ball that far takes a number of qualities: strength, great eyesight, timing, a quick and smooth hip swivel, and incredible bat speed. Just hitting the ball is one of the hardest things to do in sports.
I recommend watching a video about the Cubs winning the 2016 World Series. It’s similar to Leicester City winning the Premier League title, though the Cubs weren’t underdogs when they won it. They had the longest championship drought in North American sports, going 108 years without a championship until they finally won. Watching a video of their history, the 1969 Cubs collapse, Steve Bartman in 2003, and finally the year they won it all would elaborate better probably. I’m a Cubs fan so of course I love it but it’s still an amazing story. Some people waited their whole lives to see them win it all.
2017 World Series highlights are insane
On the smaller side of baseball, videos of first basemen doing scoops and splits are always fun to watch.
"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."
:D
This song was written in 1908! We still sing at least this part and some variation of the verses at every game. This is practically the anthem for baseball!
Check out Josh Hamilton's home run derby video.
These videos are fun, man. Would love to see some baseball reactions with context, like Gibson's at-bat in game 1 of the 88 world series. 9th inning, Gibby is injured in both knees, wasn't supposed to play and has one hell of an at-bat. You've seen it before but in context with the rest of his plate appearance it always gives me goosebumps.
Watching home runs in person is so crazy. You really get to see in person how far theyre hitting it. Balls get hit so high these days too since batters adjust their swings to launch the ball at a higher angle. I’ve seen in person balls hit the ceiling in Minute Maid park (Houston Astros stadium) which is crazyyyy high in the air.
Watch Cecil’s swing, notice how he barely moves his hands back and how they go towards the ball before his hips turn (this makes sense to baseball players). But basically he hit a 502 foot HR using mostly his arms. Dude was STRONG.
Dear Luka:
Like in all sports, baseball is a physics problem. Keep in mind some factors:
distance between home plate and the outfield wall
ball exit speed (when the ball gets hit)
bat angle
external factors (temperature, humidity, wind speed, elevation, air pressure)...
The ball behaves like a projectile. So have fun with the formulas.
Happy 2020!
The one that went 525ft was hit in an indoor stadium and the ball hit the lights hanging from the roof of the stadium
Baseball has its roots in rounders and goes back to the American Revolution. Usually the long home runs come against hard throwing pitchers. The higher the ball's velocity when it's hit by the bat, the farther it can go.
Every once in a while, the MLB players go to Japan to play the best that Japan can offer. In one of those games, some pitcher tried to get cute with David Ortiz. Ortiz's next swing hit the top of the Tokyo Dome in right field. At bare minimum, it went 514 ft. before it hit the roof and ricocheted into the upper deck.
Great video. YOU SHOULD DO A VIDEO ON BASEBALL FIGHTS!!! AND ON BASEBALL CONTRACTS!!!
just to give you some perspective about how crazy these home runs are my dad who was born in chicago in 1951 still talks about the kingman home run bouncing down the street to this day
Every batter wants to be the king of swat. Hit home runs. But when I sit behind home plate I am more impressed with a Nolan Ryan curve ball, a Bob Gibson slider, and a Charlie Hough knuckleball...
There are also much longer videos with many more home runs if you’re interested
been on a marathon, watching your videos all day long, keep it up.
sharing your clips around man, really dig the vibe.
Keep in mind, these are the longest home runs captured on video. Some of the early legends of the game(Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Mel Ott, etc.) have crushed home runs in excess of 600 feet, but because it was so long ago, there's no footage of those blasts.
There's the urban legend of Mickey Mantle hitting one at Washington's old stadium, they found the ball across the street in someone's backyard.
MLB acrobatic plays you’ll enjoy those
4:50 thats Wrigley field in Chicago and thats waveland avenue that the ball landed on.
Dude, that thing I think CLEARED Waveland Ave (just like Glenallen Hill's rooftop shot) and ended up bouncing down Kenmore Ave. It just kept going, without any building to stop it.
To give you an idea of just how big the ball fields are... when you hit the ball 20-30 m in rounders, that's the equivalent of hitting it inside the infield. Your average stadium is about 300 ft (90m) down the foul lines and 400 ft (120m) to the fence in center field.
New sub love this vids ;)
Not sure if you saw my comment earlier, but you can use stream2watch if you want to watch any sporting events live. NFL playoffs are gunna be Saturday and Sunday
Go Packers!!
A 5 " Oh my days " Video . 5:30 was the Old Stadium in Detroit . They hit some massive home runs there . I saw Tony Clarke hit one on the roof . What you showed was Reggie Jackson in an All Star game . People say that was the longest ever . It was still rising when it hit the light tower
Staying on the topic of MLB, you should watch "MLB | Loudest Crowd Reactions | Part 1" by Alltime Sports. I want to see your reaction to these loud and electrifying moments! Love the videos and keep 'em up!!!
React to baseball greatest plays you’ll ever see
Have you heard about no hitters/ perfect games? Because those are the most magic (at least one of)things to witness in the sport. Another fun one is Walk Off homeruns
They say hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports.
I've been to many professional baseball games and have seen my share of homeruns being hit. It is impressive to see.
When you play baseball it's hard to hit a home run, but so satisfying. The most ever hit in an MLB season is 74 by Barry Bond (yes, he took steroids). There are home runs in almost every game by at least one of the teams.
Well, the pitcher provides a lot of the power. Grant it there's not a lot of people that can hit a 95 mph fastball, but when you can connect with it at the right angle that's where you get a lot of these long home runs.
You should highlight of people robbing homeruns its where people just or climp the wall to catch a ball that would have gone over the fence into the stands
Another fun fact. The homeruns hit in Coors Field are going to be further because of the high altitude.
McGwire hit one longer than the longest one on this video in 1998. He hit one 545 feet in St. Louis while playing for the Cardinals.
Nice seeing someone that usually doesnt watch baseball watch it
April 1976 Kingman hit a 600-footer against the Cubs while playing for the Mets.
#2 announcer was Dave Niehaus.... my favorite sports caller.
Strength and power are factors but fluidity of the swing and connecting the ball with the bat's sweet a spot (center of the barrel) are more important for these types of no doubter home runs.
There's a sound that you get when a home run is hit on the nose that it doesn't matter where you are in the ballpark, you hear it and watch where it's going. As for how, well, for many of the guys in this video, lots of practice & at least someone with a working knowledge of steroids, while the steroids won't help you make contact, they'll help add power.
Quick note on numbers one and two. That was Mark McGuire and Jose Canseco. They were both on ALL the steroids. Like stuff that's supposed to be given to horses. Whether it was cheating or not at the time is a bit of a complicated subject, so I won't get into it here.
I don't think I ever saw a 500 footer in person, but I saw Andrew and Chipper Jones hit a couple in Atlanta that were close. I think you'd enjoy it if you looked at individual baseball careers. Someone like Tony Gwynn, who was great on both sides of the ball and was a hall of famer, would be a good place to start. He played for the Padres and I've never been a Padres fan. I sure was a Tony Gwynn fan though. He was one of the all time great hitters. He passed in 2014.

The Legend of Tony Gwynn
This makes you realize just how insane David Arias was.
React to loudest crowd reactions in modern baseball ! You’ll get hyped af
Massive home runs are fun but, if you haven't already, look into a video about triples. The most exciting hit IMO. Or maybe inside the park home runs.
We have got to get Lavish Luka a ticket to go see some sort of American sport game!
React to baseball bat flips xD
A lot of these Home Runs (“Homers” for short) are all from just natural strength. Adam Dunn was one of those guys who could just launch a ball. Other players that can send a ball into orbit include:
Sammy Sosa
Frank Thomas
Jim Thome
Jose Bautista
Vladimir Guerrero
Giancarlo Stanton
Just to name a few
But sadly, there are some players like Jose Canseco who were accused of using steroids to strengthen themselves up.
Despite that, there’s still a ton of great players who naturally just crush the ball without the need of any substances.
I started to learn about baseball after watching moneyball. If you have Netflix I'd definitely recommend giving it a watch
MLB escape from rundowns
You still havent seen the best baseball has to offer. Best infield plays are sooooo impressive
Just to give you an idea, the average home run is about 390-400ft. Baseball parks will have short distances to the corners (about 370ft or so) and in center field is the deepest (390-405ft most of the time)
These are just the longest they had video of. Mickey Mantle hit one 565 feet in 1953, and Babe Ruth hit one 575 feet (175.25 meters) in 1921.
React to mookie betts
I highly recommend reacting to Ken Griffey Jr highlights. Debatably the best player in the modern era and possibly ever.
If only his knees hadnt gotten fucked up because of one fateful jump into the wall to catch a ball... if his career would have been longer and he wouldn't have had so many issues with his knees after that incident then without a doubt he would have been one of the greatest of all time both with a glove and with a bat
Richard Grace he broke his wrist on that to
@@spybro3264 no I'm talking about another incident earlier in his career where he jumped feet first in his career into the wall to make a catch and completely fuked up his knees, I know the incident you are talking about
@@spybro3264 texas vs Seattle spiderman catch
@@spybro3264 sorry had to look it up on CZcams cause couldn't remember who it was against
It’s all about hitting the ball on the ‘sweet spot’ of the bat.
Checkout the Home Run Derby competition. Lots of fun during the Badeball All Star celebrations.
It's like watching a space ship blast off on the batters perspective
Edit: when batters hit those home runs,it looks like a plane up in the sky when you look at it from the field
Another edit:they forgot about those 600 feet homes runs,i think only two players have done that
u should react to triple plays
The longest one I’ve seen was Barry Bonds hit into the San Francisco Bay.
You should do a reaction to the vintage former MLB stadiums from the first half of the century and the cookie cutters as well.
You should watch the movie "the sandlot." It gives great perspective into childhood in America and what makes baseball so special to Americans. Plus it's hilarious and a great movie.
Trevor Story hit one 505 ft recently too. Also in the home run herby balls have been hit up to 518 feet or more
I love it that you use Bing so you can go to Google and search it. Lol!
React to baseball fights, they are funny :)
React to best March Madness moments! They would all be from the college basketball playoff tournament and is full of last second shots and major upsets
czcams.com/video/djHhgaE6VBk/video.html
You should react to American city skylines
Lot of the furthest hovering hsoened before they started filming all the games ‘20s - 50’s Mickey Mantle, Norm Cash, Jimmy Foxx, Babe Ruth obv, Willie Mays etc
Did you watch the Rose bowl college FB game that just ended? It was epic 28-27 ..
FYI the regular season in college FB is in essence the playoffs. A team fights all yr to climb the rankings (the Polls) to end up in the top 4 spots to play in the semifinals . 4 out of 130 teams so every regular season game is either moving you up or down
5:06 Reggie's home run actually hit the light tower above the roof.
I love your videos! for the next Baseball one, you should react to the "MLB Steroid Era".
From a hard core baseball fan this is funny
If you ever get a chance to see a game, go early and watch them hitting batting practice.
When baseball in America was founded.... the original rules were based on the game Rounders.
⭐⭐⭐Great reaction Luka. If you think home runs are fun to watch imagine hitting one during a game. Done it more times than I can count. Hit my first one at about 13. Struck out a lot too....😎😎
So u Joey Gallo😂
Rounders, yeah. Baseball evolved from rounders. I've never seen a rounders game before. But it makes sense that they'd be similar.
React to the Minneapolis Miracle! (Also check out the sideline view)
Just listen to the crowd go nuts when they realize what happened
You gotta head to Joseph Vincent’s channel if you like all of these different sports. He basically gets a bunch of different sports and creates documentaries for them, perfect for reacting to
