When it comes to tape-measure home runs, Willie Stargell was unrivaled.

I would think Cecil Fielder and the aforementioned Dave Kingman would rival him.

Yeah Cecil had some serious power. Reggie hit a few long ones in the day as well.

I grew up in the DC area. They used to paint seats in the upper deck where he had hit them. He also hit some line drive homers that must have had the shortest elapsed time in history.

Jose Canseco hit the longes.... oh. nevermind.

My dad says that the longest HR he ever saw was Richie Allen in 1964 or 65. A liner that he says the shortstop jumped after and cleared the scoreboard. He said if it wasn't the longest ever hit, it surely had to be the hardest.

When I saw the topic line 2 guys came to mind right off the bat , Howard was one Killebrew was the 2`nd. Howard for sheer distance and Killebrew for how quickly they left the stadium ! On a side note, never saw a better fastball hitter than O Cepeda, he could turn around the best of them. Yaz a close 2`nd. Go Sox

Default NFL players steroids use
Steroids use by NFL players has not been in the public domain. However, one notable incident made big news in 1992,
when Lyle Alzado died at a relatively young age.

His untimely death was attributed to heavy use of steroids.

First guy I thought of not being old enough to have seen Mantle, much less Ruth, Foxx etc. Willie was pretty intimidating.
