Can Anyone Beat Ryan Howard's 505? | Philadelphia Phillies News
Description

Recent Derby homers like Oneil Cruz’s 513-footer show it’s possible, but those monster shots usually happen in hitter-friendly parks — and even the best sluggers today struggle to match Howard’s legendary power in a real game.
