Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"Mickey (Mantle) was on another longball tear, having bounced a ball off the rightfield façade on May 5th off Kansas City's Moe Burtschy. (No estimate has been made of the distance of that Mantle homer, which may well end up in the top ten if ever calculated.)" - Mickey Mantle's 10 Longest Home Runs by Lewis Early (2003)
