Since many of us here are over 50 these shouldn't be to hard. !) Who hit the most HRs at Yankee stadium & who was 2nd? 2) What Yankee holds the record for HBP in a season? 3)Of Babe Ruth's 714 HRs, how many were inside the park? 4) And speaking of inside the park what Yankee PITCHER hit an inside the park grand slam? And please no cheating.
C'mon people I know I said don't cheat but these are really not that tough. I'll give you a hint on #4, he pitched during the 60s
Okay here's an easy one....When Babe Ruth retired with 714 HRs only one other player in baseball had over 300 HRs, who was he?
#1... not quite what I was expecting... (I will not reveal the answer, but needed to cheat) #2... not even close to the major league record... (less than half) but again, I needed to look it up... #3... more than I thought #4... interesting... of the above four, I was only alive for 1 of them... and was 7 at the time...
Mess you're right on Gehrig & Baylor. Gehrig had 378 at the time & Baylor was hit 24 times in 1985. And Hammer you're right, not even close to Ron Hunt. We still need answers on #s1 3 & 4
Right on both Mantle (266) Ruth (259) & Gehrig (251) Stottlemyre Accomplished the feat in 1964 That's leaves #3
Just because it would be a random number if not I'm going to say zero for Ruth on inside the park homers.
The Babe went drinking the night before with the head groundskeeper and the next day the bases were only 70 feet apart.
