Sports Q: Who hit the longest home run you have ever seen in person?

Welcome to Boston.com’s Sports Q, our daily conversation, initiated by you and moderated by Chad Finn, about a compelling topic in Boston sports. Here’s how it works: You submit questions to Chad through Twitter, Facebook, and email. He’ll pick one each weekday to answer, then we’ll take the discussion to the comments. Chad will stop by several times per day to navigate. But you drive the conversation.

Who hit the longest home run you have ever seen in person?

I’ve seen some majestic homers in my 40-plus years as a fan and 25-plus years as a sports writer, having been fortunate to watch Jim Rice, Mo Vaughn, and of course David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez hit some memorable bombs for the Red Sox.
