The 15 Longest Home Runs Ever Hit Adam Dunn, 504 Feet. When Adam Dunn strides to the plate, it is usually a 50-50 proposition. The slugger will either strike out or mash a hanging curve ball into the bleachers. And just because he bats from the left side, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to strategize by putting a southpaw on the mound.

Besides Dunn, only Mickey Mantle and Mark McGwire appear twice on this list, proving Dunn swings a mean bat. The Dunn homer is at 6:20 in the video.
