I recall as a kid, hearing that Jimmy Foxx almost hit a baseball out
of Yankee Stadium. He batted Righthanded and supposedly he came
within a few feet of sending it out in the upper deck, Left Field section
of the stadium.
Given the "death valley" dimensions of LF in the old Yankee Stadium,
this tremendous HR probably would have traveled 600+ feet. Does anyone
on this Forum know or have more information on this HR by Foxx ?
