Default Inside The Park Homeruns

Posted By: jay behrens

Part of the reason Keeler never hit many balls "into the seats" is because many, if not most all parks that he played in had no outfield wall. If there was an unusually large crowd, some times a rope barrier was ussually put up in the outfield and fans allowed to mill about in the outfield area.

You can't hit a ball out of the park when there is no end to the outfield.
