內容簡介

The tape measure home run is the greatest single act of power in the game of baseball, and the tales of these homers are the most cherished legacies players and fans hand down through the generations. Each long-distance shot has become fable: exaggerated and lasting, they are baseball's versions of the feats of Paul Bunyon, Hercules, and Samson.
 
No one but tape-measure home run expert Bill Jenkinson could separate myth from fact and actually study, rank, and describe in rivetting detail baseball's strongest long-ball hitters. After decades of research, and on the heels of his critically acclaimed breakdown of Babe Ruth's batting (THE YEAR BABE RUTH HIT 104 HOME RUNS), Bill Jenkinson has given us a treasure of a book, the only book of its kind, the definitive book on the tape-measure home run and its practitioners.
 
Jenkinson travels through the decades to give readers the distances, descriptions, and comparisons of the forty longest hitters in major league history, the ten longest-hitting active players, the five mightiest from the 19th Century, and the five best tape-measure batsmen from the Negro League era. Plus, he provides a compendium of lists of every sort relating to tape mesure hitting.
 
Fully illustrated with photos of the players, home run spray charts, and aerial ballpark photos showing the landing spots of each stadium's longest homers.
