At Fenway Park, Manny Ramirez hits two homers totaling 964 feet, but he also leaves the bases loaded twice and the Blue Jays come back on the Red Sox, 9 – 6. Manny’s shots are 463 feet and 501 feet, the latter banging the net around the Coke bottle in left. It’s measured at 501 feet, a suspicious one foot short of Ted Williams’ 502-foot homer for the Fenway record.
