Notes & reviews

Against the shift
Through Adams
Had the ball bounced a foot farther it would've been a HR
Over the high fence in dead CF. The boys whose memories date far back claim it never had been done before. PDL: '...the longest line drive seen here since Cliff Lee bounced one upstairs on the clubhouse porch on 7/4/1922.' It disappeared over the CF wall half way between the flagpole and clubhouse.
Over RF wall
1-handed catch
Bad hop past Sand
Well back into LF bleachers
Threw into Cub dugout
Looping single behind 3B against the shift
Off the scoreboard
