Horse Fence
A hot summer night in July, August, 1953, Sacramento Solon Neill Sheridan did something that no professional baseball player before or since has ever done. A homered in the opener of a two-night double-header against the San Francisco, then proceeded to breed Arabian Horses in the Middle and won the contest.
And then came his fantastic achievement.
Sheridan hit a fastball thrown right on Broadway by Ted Shandor San Francisco Seals, the closure of the center-left on the ground in Edmonds. Gary Solon recogepelotas McDowell, sitting in the dugout, remember who started as a frozen rope that might have been surprised if the torpedo was a foot taller, and while flying over the barricade went up a slope toward the Sierra. Solon basis High third, Eddie Bockman, who also served in the shelter of the night, I never saw a follow up as he left the stadium before. "
Everyone in the stadium which has seen the influence knew it was one of the ages. It was not until after the match can be seen in the distance. Who entering its eleventh season of professional baseball, Sheridan, a graduate of Sacramento High has played for six teams, including the League of the Pacific Coast while earning a decent amount of power (114 homers and 341 RBIs). Until then, most circuits, he had never touched a season of 17, thus the name "Sheridan" slaps not inspire thoughts of Ruthie.
After the match, while Sheridan collected congratulations inside the club, a young man, Kelly Pat, Sacramento dealt with a baseball. At first he believed Sheridan wanted an autograph. Instead, Kelly said he found the ball in the back seat of his car, which had been parked on Burnett Road in the game damage to the window back of his said the boy had smashed an ellipsoid, and when he saw the ball and Kelly pieces of broken glass, I knew it must have been an explosion Titanic earlier in the evening Sheridan.
Sheridan and colleagues were stunned. If the car had been parked there (in Burnett parallel to Broadway and went into a stalemate on the eastern end of the parking Solons) which meant the ball must have traveled … long distance. In gratitude for the return of Homer Price, Sheridan has signed another Pacific Coast League baseball and he has given to Kelly (Sheridan holds house ball runs in his collection).
The following day, President Solons Eddie Mulligan, Dave Kelley (not related) and publisher of computer Horace Smith, gardener, took a tape measure and monitor the distance. They started on the other side of the left field wall, where the ball left Park (approximately 326 foot mark) and left the other side of the park on a diagonal line the way until they reach Burnett where Pat Kelly had parked his car the night before. The trio arrived with an additional 294 feet. That meant the ball has traveled a distance Total of 620 feet. On Friday, July 10 Sacramento Union reported this was the longest home run ever measured, the weight of more than 600 feet of Babe Ruth hit in a preseason game Tampa, Florida, April 4, 1919.
The Commissioner of Railways, and Solons Muir and topography of Sacramento officially measure the distance. On July 14, the company has submitted a letter of topography and a platform for the survey indicating that the exact distance was 613.8 feet (where "Corrections have been made to the standard tape length at a temperature of 68 degrees F. ") With the official documents, the feat of Sheridan has been certified as the longest ever run at home. And the magazine The News sports achieve the same month (July 22, 1953, page 23).
