Reggie Jackson's Monster Bomb.....


July 13, 1971 - Tiger Stadium, Detroit, Michigan


During the 1971 All-Star Game, life imitated fiction when Mr. October transformed himself into "The Natural." Reggie Jackon's moonshot in Tiger Stadium off a Dock Ellis slider not only landed on the roof; it turned off the lights. Striking a transformer over 100 feet above the field, it's projected distance was 530+ feet and remains one of the longest homeruns ever hit.
