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.

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…..
