StaTuesday: Longest home runs in Brewers history

FOX Sports Wisconsin

There’s a lot to like about a monster home run. Just ask Keon Broxton.

The Milwaukee Brewers outfielder crushed a pitch on Thursday night which was reported as being 489 feet, the longest home run hit at the new iteration of Busch Stadium.

Broxton, naturally, was impressed by his outburst of supreme power.

However, according to hittrackeronline.com — which has tracked every home run in the major leagues since 2006 — Broxton’s homer traveled “only” 442 feet (sorry, Keon … but we’re still impressed).
