When there is a fence at a field and it is not hit over, it should not be counted as a HR in my opinion. Now if you are at a field without a fence for instance, Pendery Park my DD hit a complete Bomb to left center and when she can touch em all, you know it's hit a country mile!! :lol: Speed on the bases has never been her strong point.

Just curious, how many of these HRs were over the fence?

 

11, if at a field with fences it would be 13/14.

Just curious, does it not count as a "homer" at any level when not hit over a fence? IMO a homer is a homer.

Very impressive.

I'd say much harder to hit an 'in the parker' than hit one out.

Depends on if there is a fence or not, but either is impressive.

Rumor has it that a number of the HR's/grandslams were hit in a game versus Bellevue when NCC was on a hot hitting streak. I assume the game was played at NCC's home field? No matter who the opponent this is quite a accomplishment to have so many in one game no matter over the fence or not, as TAC points out, not easy to have the in the park HR's on a field with a fence.

There is no "inside the Parker" without a fence... DD hit one this summer into woods at Tealtown ...no fences about 260 feet... Ruling... Ground rule double... Now that was not a good day...

Reminds me of knothole days at the Bellevue vets. Steve Clark put one in the trees about 100 feet past the nearest outfielder. GRdouble.

That's a name I haven't heard in a while, he lived on the street behind me growing up.

 

About 10 years ago we were out on the town, can't remember where, and Steve was "hitting on" Mrs. Lawnboy like a man on a mission. :lol2:

 

What about the Friday night softball league where they had their version of the Green Monster, long net that stretched from right field foul line to right center and about a gazillion feet high to protect the volleyball courts and their spectators. Although a "short porch", you only got a ground rule single for your "titanic blast", Always enjoyed watching folks scatter. :lol2:
