Default Jimmy Foxx's tremendous HR

Hey guys....

Jimmy Foxx once drove a baseball so hard and high that it almost went out of Yankee Stadium's left field stands. In 1937 Foxx connected on
one of Lefty Gomez's pitches and rocketed it up so deep into the 3rd deck in Yankee Stadium, that the ball nearly sailed thru the clearance
between the seats and the upper deck ceiling. It was projected that this tremendous HR would have traveled 600 feet, if it had cleared the
Stadium.

As Mel Allen would have said......" How about that ? "
