Off the top of my head, I saw two other home runs which made me shudder:

 

2) I'm pretty sure that A-rod hit one to the concourse in left in the second game of a rangers double header in 2000.

 

1) Dan Pasqua hit one out of the old stadium against the A's circa 1988... still the longest I've personally seen.

 

Non-white sox honorable mention: ESPN Las Vegas Home Derby - Pat Burrell hit one of the top of the light tower in left-center of Cashman field which has enormous dimensions to begin with...

im pretty sure chavez, arod, thomas and borchard have all hit the concourse...pasqua hit one 484, but i remember he hit one onto the roof at the old park, that had to be the farthest...

 

That Pasqua one is the homer I'm talking about in my above post. I think it was a late inning homer against the california angels. I'll never forget it...

This appears incorrect...

 

quoting the White Sox Press Pass

Thome's HRs have traveled 2,937ft. (420ft. average) with a long of 448 on 4/7 vs. Cleveland.

Are there distance estimates for the rooftop shots that Kittle and Luzinski hit at the old ballpark?

Ya, I was at that game, landed in the shrubbery.

If that is the game that he hit 2 bombs, 1 near the Fan Deck, than yes, I was there as well. That was my grandpa's first baseball game.

I was at the game where Thomas hit the 495 foot HR. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.

About how far is the fan deck from home plate?

That wasn't nearly as impressive as when he hit 2 OUT of Miller Park during the HR derby. Anyone there when Bonds hit one to the concourse and it bounced out during BP 2 years ago?

 

I remember that display at Miller, it was amazing, but an actual game situation is different.
