It’s just too bad Willie Mays played in Candlestick Park or he would still hold that long-ball record.

Probably...

Or Ted Williams if he hadn't given four years to The Marines.

I think you’re confusing
Willie Mayes with Willie
McCovy. McCovey held the
record at 515 feet until
Mark Magwire belted one
at 545.
I was at a Giants game as
a ten year old, when McCovy
hit one at 505.
