We Have Just Witnessed the Longest Home Run in Baseball History
At least, the longest home run in Japanese baseball history.

Earlier this week, Trevor Bauer returned from the Japanese minor leagues. How did it go, you ask? Well, not great — as he quickly surrendered the longest home run in recorded history to Hiroshima’s Elehuris Montero.
The home run is reported to have gone 594 feet, smashing Babe Ruth’s previous record of 575 feet.
Of course, some haters are already doubting Montero’s achievement, but I choose to believe!
