I dunno about Ruth, but Mantle definitely hit one into the fencing stuff at Yankees Stadium in the upper deck, which was waaaaay up there. The distance

Josh Gibson hit a home two feet above the old facade at the 'old' Yankee Stadium in 1937 for the Homestead Grays, which technically beats Mantle's homer, but since it happened in a Negro League game, no one counts it.

He's also said to have crushed one out of Yankee Stadium back in '34, also in a Negro League game, which if true, makes him the ONLY baseball player to crush a ball totally out of Yankee Stadium twice.
