Reynolds drive was estimated at 453 feet -- the sixth-longest homer in Turner Field history tonight

I have been informed bonds has hit 14 homeruns at turner field

found elsewhere on net
on the broadcast they said the furthest was a 471 foot Sammy Sosa HR. and that Bonds had 2 longer than Reynolds...Mark Grace seemed to think Reynolds got shortchanged and Deron Sutton said he hadn't seen one there any further and he broadcast the Braves for years

Sunday night, Bonds hit his 695th and 696th home runs. The first, in the third inning, was another magnificent, towering monument to his power, rising into the Georgia night sky, not settling until it was deep, deep, deep into the right-field stands, 467 feet away. It was the second-longest home run in Turner Field history. The second home run, in the fifth inning, was a line drive to right-center, the kind of shot that leaves the bat and is out of the playing field in roughly the blink of an eye. It was, at 462 feet, the third-longest home run in Turner Field history.

The Braves radio guys were estimating that Reynolds' HR was farther than what they gave him credit for.
