This year? Should be in contention for all-time leader.

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)…

Regardless of the state of your memory, giving all the details is good enough for me. Early 80s?

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.

Excellent point. I’m old enough to remember the era of the grand slam in the 1980s.

Good point DC 86. 
And @TonyLima, I’m thinking around ‘81-‘83 for Hardgrave, since he was a couple years ahead. Rick Lundblade was my classmate and masher shortly afterwards.
