How far is the boundary  ??

The average distance for an American Baseball home run (ball goes 
over the fence/barrier) is about 350 feet. A good hitter (batsman) 
will hit 35 or more in a season. Present record is 73. 
Many players have hit 3 home runs in one game and some have hit 4. 
So based on this boundary how many runs could be scored by an
American player if he hit 3 or 4 home runs in a game ??

p.s. Mickey Mantle once hit 4 home runs in one game with each
traveling more than 465 feet. And his longest was estimated at
570 feet.
