The great Josh Gibson hit legendary 600-foot home run that reached the backyard of Belmar Post Office.
"Building with green roof."
"The ball cleared the center field fence, and landed in back yard of the post office."
A commemorative plaque affixed to a rock behind the backstop, near corner of 12th and Railroad Ave.
It also lists the 12 members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown who once played at Memorial Field:
Gibson, Roy Campanella, Satchel Paige, “Cool Papa” Bell, Martin Dihigo, Oscar Charleston, Leon Day, Roy Dandridge, Judy Johnson, Buck Leonard, Mule Suttles and Willie Wells.
Belmar, New Jersey.
July 24, 1936.

On September 10, 1960 Mickey Mantle rockets a home run that measured 643ft. Guinness Records as it as the longest ball ever hit in a major league game. This is where the ball supposedly landed
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Guinness World Record for longest home run belongs to Babe Ruth not Mickey Mantle

I was born a Catholic and have walked this Earth for 54 years.
Before dedicating a quarter of a century to Counterterrorism, my first degree was in Philosophy and Theology.
But I will say for the record, I have never seen a human being encapsulate in 90 seconds the meaning of Jesus Christ like @SecRubio.
Thank you Sir.
