>>> Who are the 2 hitters who are recognized for hitting the longest homeruns consistently who did not use steroids? Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth.

What do they have in common relative to homerun hitting? Stances in which their feet were close together from which they used an extremely long stride from which to hit. <<<

Hi THG

You picked two of the games best hitters and they would support your theory. However, the record books of all MLB hitters would not. The length of stride of most MLB hitters has shortened since Mantle and Ruth’s time. Yet, the number of home runs being hit sharply rose.
