Longest Homerun you've seen hit in your team's ballpark

I remember back in '10 Brett Eibner (sp?) for Arkansas crushed one over the scoreboard in left field at the new Alex Box. It will probably stand to be the longest homerun I'll see at the box due to the new bat rules.
At the old Box I remember Matt Clark crushing one that hit the apartments behind left field against Irvine in the supers
What about you guys?

Brett Eibner
He was on one of the most ridiculous HS baseball teams I've ever seen at The Woodlands. Kyle Drabek (Blue Jays) Paul Goldschmidt (D Backs) are already in the big leagues and theres a few more in the minors including Eibner.

If anyone has been to UK for a game would knw about the fence line that is next to a neighborhood beyond the center field fence of the ball park (about 475-480' shot)...Ryan Strieby (SEC POY in 07) hit that fence with no wind...it was the longest donkey bomb I ever saw at our park.

I remember the announcers for Cox being speechless after that shot. Monster homerun. We lost that game, if I recall.
There was a game during the 2010 Auburn series where it seemed like every Auburn player hit a 450+ foot homerun. shite was crazy.
Zack Cox also had a couple land in the pond behind Baum.

What makes it more impressive is that he did it on a cold day when the ball doesn't carry as much

I saw Wilkins hit one to the left center of that pond and my son got it a few innings later.

I cant tell you the longest but the funniest was we hit one to center vs FSU and the guy went up to try and rob it and his glove went over the fence
There was probably a 15 min delay trying to go get his glove

Stephen Head hit one that landed in the very back of the tennis courts BEHIND the RF student section.
Also hit one that hit the top of the pine trees behind the LF scoreboard.
Word is he hit one even longer at Regions Park.

Way back before I moved to CA, I was coaching high school football in MS, and I went to a spring clinic on MSU's campus some time in the late 70's. After the clinic, the other coaches with me wanted to go watch some Ole Miss vs MSU baseball. We parked on the road down the right field line, and we watched some of the game leaning on our car.
I don't know the name of the player, but a lefty from Ole Miss launched a shot that went 40 to 50 feet over my head and 80 feet or so past me before it landed. Seems like there was a pond or lake back there that stopped the ball. I really don't remember. I just remember calculating that the ball went no less than 500 feet in the air. It was impressive.
I was on MSU's campus a couple of years ago, and nothing looked familiar. The outfield viewing area is fenced off, the road is different, and the area over the road is developed.

For reference.....
the one Head hit to RF landed in the very back of the tennis court. It's hard to see, but there are three tennis courts stacked long-ways from that view-point.
Most of the pines are no longer in LF but his would have cleared the scoreboard in Left.

That same year, Brian Pettway bounced one off of a Jeep parked behind the left field terraces.

I remember Eddy Furniss hit one out at the old Alex Box that landed in
the street and bounced to hit the Athletic Building across the street in Right Field
said street is about 100' from fence in picture and building is about 200' from fence in picture
That ball probably landed at about 440'. Mind you it went over the Intimidator

Pettway bombed one over the speakers in dead center field at Regions Park. Longest HR I've ever seen in college. It's 405' to center there. Then there's a second wall over the first one and then a speaker probably 15 feet tall or so. Bombed it over everything.
Not to stereotype, but that dude had to be juicing. Dude was ripped like crazy.

Well I went yak off of Pettway one time. The longest HR I have seen in college was not at State. It was in juco. I was playing left. Dude hit a line drive off of a light and i caught it. I don't know how to describe how far that ball was going because no one would believe me.
