}} Tanner Joe Meyer (born May 10, 1962) is a former Major League Baseball player. He played two seasons in the majors, {{Baseball year|1988}} and {{Baseball year|1989}}, for the Milwaukee Brewers. He also played one season in Japan for the Yokohama Taiyo Whales in {{Baseball year|1990}}. Drafted by the Brewers in the 5th round of the 1983 Major League Baseball draft, Meyer showed prodigious power in the minor leagues. In his first season of minor league ball for the Beloit Brewers in {{Baseball year|1984}}, he hit 30 home runs in 475 at bats, earning Midwest League MVP honors. He moved his way up the minor league ladder, continuing to hit for power, culminating in his hitting 29 home runs in just 79 games for the Denver Zephyrs in {{Baseball year|1987}}. Meyer holds the record for the longest home run in professional baseball history at 582 feet, which he hit June 3, 1987 at Denver's Mile High Stadium.[1][2] There have been longer home runs reportedly hit but not measured by accurate methods.[3] Meyer made his major league debut with the Brewers on April 4, {{Baseball year|1988}}. His power numbers did not translate into major league home runs, as he hit just 11 in 103 games for Milwaukee. He did, however, strike out 88 times, compiling more strikeouts than hits. He did have one significant accomplishment on August 9, when he became the first and only player to hit a walk-off home run off of Roger Clemens.[4] He again struggled in the majors in {{Baseball year|1989}}, striking out 36 times in 147 at bats while hitting 7 home runs. Meyer wound up splitting that season between the Brewers and Denver. His final major league game was on September 30, 1989, and he was released after the season. He played in {{Baseball year|1990}} for the Yokohama Taiyo Whales, where his power numbers were once again impressive, as he hit 26 home runs in 104 games. He returned to the United States, and was signed to a minor league contract by the Minnesota Twins. During spring training, he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates, and spent the entire season with their Triple-A affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons. That was his last year in professional baseball.
