Home Run Trivia

PostMon Dec 26, 2016 1:33 am

Who hit the most homers in each of the following ballparks?

1. Hilltop (Yankees)

2. Bennett Park (Tigers)

3. South End Grounds (Boston Braves)

4. Robison Field (Cardinals)

5. Huntingdon Avenue Grounds (Red Sox)

All these guys have ATG cards. None of them jumps out at you as a home run hitter.

Here are my guesses:

Hilltop = Hal Chase

Bennett Park = Sam Crawford

South End Grounds = Bobby Lowe

Robison Field = Jesse Burkett

Huntingdon Ave Grounds = Buck Freeman


Dead ball era I assume most home runs were inside-the-park variety by fast players. I looked at the rosters and went with a guy who played there several years and had 5-7 HRs per year.

You got 4 of 5. Tough question!

The other was Herman Long, in South End Grounds.
