What Was a your Recollection of the Mets’ Longest HR Ever?

Rusty Staub weighed in, so to speak….

“there was the ball Kingman hit against Catfish Hunter over the center-field wall at Fort Lauderdale Stadium in 1975. Wind-aided as it was, it left the playing field in a millisecond, according to eyewitness Rusty Staub. “It had to go 680 feet; it had to double the distance to the fence,” he said. “That was as hard as David could hit a ball.””
