    Furthest Homer You've Ever Seen Hit At DNF

    The Kellum blast this weekend got me thinking, what's the furthest homer you've ever seen hit at DNF? In game it would be either the Dalbec homer in the 16 super regional or the Kavades homer in the 21 super regional. Batting practice wise, I watched Harrison Bragg hit one with the wind blowing out that cleared the stadium to dead center by 50-60 feet.

    David Hayman hit one in practice that I thought would land in the middle of Highway 82.

    The Notre Dame dudes' homer went about 1.5X higher than Clark's and went a little bit further by about 40 feet. It was a smash.

    I saw Brad Winkler hit one about as far as kellums and Castoria hit one way over the lounge but that dude from notre dame hit the longest I'm sure.

    I didn?t see Kavadas in person but that?s probably it.

    Another one many may not remember, but in the supers against Clemson, they had a guy named Andy D?Alessio (I think that?s his name). He launched one about as far as Kavadas at the Old Dude.

    Frank Thomas no doubt! It went out above the lights. Talk about a Bomb! Btw, not a HR at the Dudy, but the late great best 3rd baseman in Msu history, hit one out in the Sec Championship game at Vandy. Ball bounced off the gym in Left, plus they used wooden bats in those days! Just saying.

    Also not at DNF but I saw Castoria blister one in Tuscaloosa around 40 years ago or so that was a mammoth blast. N.D. dude's was about as big as it gets though.

    Del Bender, about 1977. Over the light standard in left center. Moon shot.
    At the time, there was no Shira Fieldhouse beyond center, and it was truly cow pastures.
    Don't know if the ball was ever found...

    Am I remembering correctly that Bobby Dalbec hit a ball way over the left field lounge in that super regional loss to Arizona?

    It was rising going over the lounge. It probably cleared those bathrooms by 50 feet.
