On June 9th, 1946 Ted Williams hit the longest home run ever recorded in Fenway Park.
Traveling an estimated 502 feet, the ball made a hole in the straw hat of Joe Boucher who was visiting Boston from Albany, New York. 
In 1984, the Red Sox installed a lone red seat in the bleachers to commemorate the accomplishment. 
It also makes for a cool picture.
