Message: [QUOTE="CONN78SEJ, post: 5032550, member: 10604"] q Interesting article but it’s only about completed official games in the record books. It only talks about Foxx being robbed because of netting, high fences, etc. Unless I missed something it says nothing about incomplete games called due to weather, which is what those with excellent memories have claimed and passed down through the years, that in 1932 Foxx hit 4 or 5 bonafied home runs in games that were called due to weather before the game’s completion, and thus were never recorded at all, in the record books. As to the short fences Ruth also had some advantages as well in the old Yankee Stadium. The right field line was originally only 295 feet, and was later dropped to 290 feet to add another row of seating. [/QUOTE]
