How many baseball players on record have hit a home run at the Polo Grounds? In 1930, centerfield was 505ft.?
In 1911, the centerfield fence was 403ft and in 1930, 505ft. That's pretty far, even by today's MLB standards.

to find all the past records of all baseball or any sports history, go to yahoo search and do one and then you would not believe all the info can be provided,,, there is usually a link for espn.com archives,, which has a ton of old stats and records,,, give it a shot you wont be dissapointed. i found your answer, 4 players have hit a homerun to centerfield,,,,you can find out total amount on your own thanks
Yeah, but it was only 279 feet down the left field line and 258 down the right field line. Anyone that could pull the ball a little could jack one out pretty easily. I don’t how many players homered there, but it had to be a bunch, not to centerfield, though, obviously.
dont let centerfield fool you, down the lines it is way shorter then any ballpark today
I have read somewhere that 3 players have reached the centerfield bleachers at the Polo Grounds. The first was Joe Adcock of the Milwaukee Braves, then Hank Aaron also of the Braves and Lou Brock the most unlikely of the three also accomplished the feat.
It could be like, 300 baseball players…..
Center field is different though. If your asking about in the 1930’s, the guy above me is wrong…..
Yes, Cool Breeze is right about the sides. And it was also pretty amazin, to see the bullpen inside the field. The Centerfield ocuppied so much space that the bullpen it as right there inside the center right field, i have a playstation2 videogame where you can play there (polo Ground) plus, you can play in others old time ballparks, it is called MLB 2006: THE SHOW, it´s the best baseball videogame in history. PLaying There, you can averege how many ballplayers have taken it over the fence. Good luck!
