Longest home run ever? Josh Gibson and Belmar Memorial Field

BELMAR - From home plate at Memorial Field you can see the American flag fluttering in the distance, beyond the center field fence and across Main Street. Beneath the flag, at the corner of 13th Avenue, is the borough’s post office.
It’s a long, long way from the batter’s box.
You wonder: Did a man really hit a baseball that far?
“If you walk it off, it has to be one of the longest home runs hit anywhere, anytime,” said Spencer Heulitt, president of the Belmar Historical Society.
The hitter was Josh Gibson, a legendary slugger of the 1930s and 1940s known as “the Black Babe Ruth.” With Major League Baseball played by whites only, Gibson starred in the Negro leagues and on barnstorming tours. His Pittsburgh Crawfords team paid multiple visits to Memorial Field, which was part-time home to the rival New York Cubans and full-time home to the semipro Belmar Braves. ....

25 books for creating the ultimate Pittsburgh bookshelf (updated!)
The perfect Pittsburgh bookshelf would be made of steel, of course. Preferably forged in the fires of Carrie Furnace from the melted facemasks of vanquished Ravens, and bookended by a bottle of Monongahela Pure Rye Whiskey at one end, and a gleaming Lombardi Trophy on the other.
For a great Pittsburgh bookshelf, though, all you need are books.
Fortunately, there are a lot of excellent Pittsburgh books out there histories, biographies, novels, photography, even poetry (really!). For our purposes, we kept it limited to books either about Pittsburgh as a subject or stories with Pittsburgh as a setting. Our list is fairly heavy on fiction and history, which are plentiful. If you’ve got some additions, we’d love to hear them. ....

King of Sluggers: Josh Gibson's Legacy | Pittsburgh Magazine

King of Sluggers: Josh Gibson’s Legacy
A century has passed since the founding of the Negro Leagues, and the great-grandson of the game’s most feared yet forgotten hitter is fighting for the recognition of Pittsburgh’s Black baseball history.

He has a set of hands that could wrap around the trunk of a Southern Live Oak the state tree of his native Georgia and a pair of forearms that could snap one in half.
It’s sometime in the 1930s in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh when he steps up to the plate and bashes a baseball that clears the ivy-veiled outfield walls of Forbes Field and soars into oblivion. The following day his Pittsburgh Crawfords are playing in Philadelphia, and from out of nowhere, a baseball falls from the heavens and lands into the glove of a surprised center fielder. The umpire points to the twenty-something kid named Josh Gibson and shouts, Yer out yesterday in Pittsburgh. ....
