Just looked it up, the estimated distance for that was 503 feet
It would have had to have an exit speed of 175mph off the bat to travel 734 feet.

Is this the longest homerun in professional baseball history?

Yup, any analysis of the known variables quickly destroys that claim

I'm guessing that Mark McGwire or Jose Canseco would likely hit farther.

Josh Gibson remains the only player to hit a fair ball over the roof

This hit was verified. They painted the seat that it hit at Mile High Stadium

He hit it in Boston. It landed on that seat in Denver.

Left fielder hardly moves; just watches

The shortstop moves more than the left fielder

Yes that is the one for sure, I have no doubt.
