My memory is definitely suspect (and hyperbole was rampant) but I seem to recall Eric “Roscoe” Hardgrave hitting something closer to 500’ back in the ‘80s, or so legend had it (I think)…
A 476' home run is incredible in this era of bats needing to be BBCOR 0.50 certified. There were some very long home runs in the unregulated aluminum bat era, but we're really comparing apples and oranges due to the different bat composition.
