| The top number on this list I found quite shocking, as the man with 323 home runs in the Polo Grounds had 511 in his career, putting over 60% of them in his home park, which I had always heard described as "the cavernous" Polo Grounds. I've just learned from wikipedia, however, that while the center field fence was 483 feet from home plate, and the gaps in left and right-center were around 450, down the left field line measured just 279 feet, and the right field line just 258. |
