True Story: 1978...
JV baseball game at Philips Exeter Academy in Exeter, NH. (I was on the visiting team) It was a very memorable game for many reasons. Open field no fence. I was a left handed hitter and cranked a long fly well over the right fielder's head and........landed it squarely on the fly into a baby carraige being pushed by an unsuspecting mother who thought she was evidently well beyond the reach of any hit balls. I motored all the way around the bases and mom was absolutely freaking out thinking her baby was going to be injured. The good news is the baby was absolutely fine and was not hurt. Funny sight seeing the right fielder trying to coerce the lady to get the ball back in play. The bad news is the umpire took my home run away and awarded me a ground rule double. I was not happy and asked the umpire to show me the rule regarding baby carraiges in the rule book.
Still going strong at 53...
