Mike Piazza's 496-foot home run at Coors Field on September 26, 1997, was a historic moment, but the distance remains debated among fans and analysts.
Piazza's powerful home run not only secured a 10-4 victory for the Dodgers against the Rockies but also initiated a record chase that remains in baseball lore.
Burt Hooton achieved a unique milestone on the same day in 1975, recording his 12th consecutive win—a record that still stands in Dodgers history.
The 1997 MLB season was a remarkable year for Piazza, as he concluded with an impressive batting average of .362 and led the league with 40 home runs.
