Mickey's first roof clearing home run here lands 445' away on the back side of the 82' high roof at a point 80' above the playing field.  This ball had just begun its descent and would have traveled another 50' making this a 495' home run but the wind velocity is stated by the N.C.D.C. to have been 10-12mph at the time Mickey hit his home run.  The direction was from the east, creating a quarter breeze hampering Mickey's home run.  This would add approximately 15' to the distance.
