I kept looking at that jersey and kept looking, then it dawned
on me. I saw him hit a rope in old Comiskey. Dont think it ever
got 15' off the ground. It cleared the wall in LF by a couple of
feet. It appeared rocket propelled. If it wasnt for the seats
and the stands it would have left the park. Certainly impressed
a guy like me. Much more impressive than Kittle's moon shots
that went out of the park.

IIRC, Dick Allen also hit a line drive HR into the center field
stands (a shot of over 450' that never had a downward arc).

Santo, but he did play a real good 3B on D, and he hit
consistently for years. Allen was hurt a lot, had other on/off
field problems, was not well liked by mgmt etc.... especially
when he was a Phillie.

Allen Deserves Hall More Than Santo, Hodges
By Tim Joyce - November 6, 2011
As in life, sentiment often trumps objective judgment when
discussing accomplishments in sports. And that's how it should
be. We humans are meant to inject some instinctive, heartfelt
emotion into our daily actions and passions. The mixing of
intuition and objectivity is what makes us different.
But when judging a player's career in a supposedly nonpartisan
fashion, it's important to remove as much sentiment as possible
to afford the truest accounting of a career. This is the task
that confronts the voters for the Baseball Hall of Fame, who
each year must discern the great from the very good - while
leaving personal bias aside.
This is impossible, obviously, and frequently players make it
into Cooperstown who are borderline in terms of accomplishments.

that never had a downward arc
Yup same with this one, still going up when it cleared the wall.
Even the foul pole in LF was 353, so you know it had to be
365-375 just to clear the wall.

Maybe I missed something, but what is the progress bar all about
(under our board names)? What happens once you reach 100%?
