Trivia
On May 26, 1917 Cardinals outfielder Walton Cruise homered to right field and became the first player to hit a home run at Braves Field that actually cleared a fence. All previous homers were inside-the-park. It wasn't until May 28, 1925 that someone, Giants catcher Frank Snyder, hit a homer over the left field fence. On May 13, 1942 Braves pitcher Jim Tobin homered three times at Braves Field and became the only modern-day pitcher to hit three home runs in one game. On June 19, 1942 Paul Waner singled in the fifth inning to record his 3,000th career hit. | Batting Event | First |
