Mickey Mantle holds the ball he hit 565 feet on April 17, 1953, the longest homer ever hit in Griffith Stadium in Washington. Mantle, in the dressing room after the game with the Washington Senators, points to the dent in the ball where it hit a house after clearing center field. Residents of the house returned the ball to him. (Harvey Georges/AP)
