[edit] So what's the record?
"The record for most inside-the-park home runs for a single season was set by Sam Crawford in 1901" - how many?
[edit] Ed Delahanty
I see that Baseball-Almanac.com says that recent research shows that only two of the homeruns were inside-the-park, but they don't list their source and the box score they show doesn't say anything about it either. Are there any sources that could be listed that say where this recent information was found? Gorrister 14:27, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Inside-the-park home runs are rare events...
...but only in modern baseball. Before the Babe Ruth era, most ballparks were larger than they are today, so instead of going out of the park (as most hard hits do today), a home-run ball hit during the 19th or early 20th century was more likely to stay in the park and the fielder would be unable to throw the ball in time to put out the baserunner. 4.242.147.205 22:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of players?
Wouldn't it be cool to have a list of all the players in modern baseball who have hit one? PhilCosby 02:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] inside the park grand slam
Anybody know of a reliable list we could post of these? All I could find was here, and I know this is an incomplete list, I remember witnessing one by the Brewers inside the Big O back in 2001. Any help is appreciated! 209.105.207.181 20:49, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
