So Babe Ruth Hit His Furthest Home Run Ever in This City: 587 Feet #Shorts #Baseball #HomeRun

This home run broke a 34-year dynasty ⚾️ #baseball #legend

July 3, 1927. A packed Griffith Stadium crowd in Washington spent the first inning taunting Babe Ruth. Then Ruth connected. The ball flew into the dead center field stands — 421 feet to the wall — in what Leigh Montville later described as the longest home run ever seen at Griffith Stadium. Bill Jenkinson estimated the blast at roughly 495 feet. And the crowd that had been screaming moments earlier… went silent.
