The longest Home Run possible
The Physics of Baseball (3rd Edition) [Paperback]
Robert K. Adair (Author)
This little book has been around for awhile (3 decades) and has been updated by the author (3rd edition in 2002). The physical limits of how far a baseball can be hit are discussed in one of the chapters. It is an interesting read and was written by a physicist for the non-physicists among us. It is still available on Amazon. Participants in this thread might enjoy it as well as the answers it tries to provide. Hint: An 800 foot HR ain't going to happen.
