longest homerun

I just saw one 488 feet. I can't remember seeing one longer than that.

3652 feet. Moon league; don't know what that translates to on Earth.

Spoiler:
From the manual:

Ballpark dimensions are purely cosmetic! It's the ballpark factors that actually influence the game engine. That is, making a ballpark with a 500-foot center field won't make it any harder to hit home runs to center if the home run factors are still 1.000.

If you feel this is "the wrong way 'round," OOTP forum member Dark Horse created a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that can be used to create OOTP ballpark factors based on ballpark dimensions. Just input the dimensions into his spreadsheet, and it will generate recommended OOTP ballpark factors for you to enter into this page.

Note: In play-by-play calls, home run distances are based on the distances set here. So, if you set your dimensions to something silly like 700 feet, you will see some 720-foot home runs!

Since the moon's gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth's, you need to divide 3652 by 6. So, your homerun was about 608 feet.

Just make your fences 800 feet and you'll see longer home runs.

I hit a moon shot, literally.

504' blast from Prince Fielder against my White Sox. ( He signed with Seattle for 2012.)
