Official American League Bobby Brown baseball signed and inscribed "Bill Fischer, I gave up Mickey Mantle's longest Home Run 5-22-63" accompanied by a 1963 Mickey Mantle Topps reprint card. Mickey said "the hardest ball I ever hit" came in the 11th inning on May 22, 1963 at Yankee Stadium. Leading off in the bottom of the 11th, with the score tied 7-7, A's pitcher Bill Fischer tried to blow a fastball past Mickey. Today's computer estimates calculate the ball would have travelled 734 feet. http://www.themick.com/10homers.html
