HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Lou Brock, in his brief tenure with the Chicago Cubs hits a home run into the right-center field bleachers at the Polo Grounds, 460 feet from home plate, in the 1st game of a doubleheader sweep over the Giants. He is the second player to reach those seats, Joe Adcock being the first.
