One Negro League player, three Major League players... I will be away this weekend, so I won't be able to reply to answers from Friday night until Sunday night, if the answer is not gotten today before I leave. Two of four answered correctly will be enough to start a new question. Some hints: The Negro League player did it in 1948, and did play in the majors briefly afterwards. One ML player did it in the 50s, and two did it in the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anagramking Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hank Aaron is correct. You got two, so you get to ask the next question. Well done. Luke Easter was the Negro League player, and he was the first player to do it, period. I noticed that they moved the fence back about 10-12 feet after he did it, also. They did move it back in after a year, though. Lou Brock is the other major leaguer, believe it or not. Okay, troutman, ask away, but I'm out until Sunday night.

Eyewitnesses say it would have gone farther than what it was measured at. That is just there opinion after it was calculated, with them seeing the ball still climbing before hitting the obsticle.
