Kevin OI was working at Wrigley when Hill hit the homer into the rooftop bleachers. It wasn't dropping when it hit the roof; it was gliding downward on an angle. I can't imagine how far it might have gone if there had been nothing to block it.
The most incredible shots I've ever seen live were any number of Greg Luzinski's BP blasts at the Vet. I remember a guy in the upper deck who used to scream "stop, drop and roll" when the Bull came up for his cuts. They seemed almost mythical when he stepped in after Bowa.
The most prodigious blast I've ever seen on television has to have been Reggie Jackson's shot off the Tiger Stadium light tower in the 1971 All Star Game. Pure Roy Hobbs.
