Howard is one of three players (along with Killebrew and Cecil Fielder) to have hit a ball onto the left-field roof at Tiger Stadium. He has also been reported to be the only player ever to hit a fair ball out of Yankee Stadium (it was ruled a foul ball, but Yankee outfielder Bobby Murcer later said it was fair). In a game at Fenway Park, he hit a line drive which struck the center field wall 390 feet from home plate and bounced into Reggie Smith's glove before Howard had even reached first base. During his National League days, Howard also crushed a ball an estimated 560 feet at Pittsburgh's Forbes Field.
