(Original Caption) 4/17/1953-Washington, D.C.: Mickey Mantle, N.Y. Yankees, today clouted the longest homer in the history of Griffith Stadium. The ball travelled 562 feet before it landed in a backyard (3) beyond the left field wall. Jimmy Foxx and Joe DiMaggio had hit them in the same direction but they wound up in the bleachers. Other titanic smashes were by Larry Doby (l) and Babe Ruth (2). Each measured about 450 feet.
