I will deal with the major leagues only from 19th century to present. I`m good on baseball history, records, statistics, ballparks. Try to stick to on-the-field stuff. I`m not interested in personal off-the-field stuff like spouses, girl friends, drug habits, salaries, mascots, etc. If you already know the answer to the question, please don't ask it. I don't want to play "stump the expert."

Baseball Trivia (General) - Longest HR at Fenway

Expert: Tom Schott - 9/13/2007

Question
Who hit the longest home run at Fenway park, how far did it travel, where did it land?

Answer
In Fenway Park, there is a single red seat in the right field bleachers: Section 42, Row 37, Seat 21, that measures 502 feet from home plate. It marks the spot where Ted Williams hit a home run off of Fred Hutchinson of the Detroit Tigers on June 9, 1946, the longest home run in Fenway Park history.
