- 1951 - In an exhibition game at the University of Southern California, Mickey Mantle propels a home run estimated at 654 to 660 feet. The shot clears Bovard Field and then goes the width of a practice football field before landing. Mantle has two homers, a bases-loaded triple, and drives in seven runs as the Yankees flunk the Trojans, 15 - 1.

Took a shot at comparing the deck stacking for the Howard Terminal ballpark vs the Coliseum. If this is even close to being correct, you can see how much closer the 2nd and 3rd decks will be to the field. Does this look about right @DaveKaval ? pic.twitter.com/EkSUvV6dOw
