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