Babe Ruth hit several home runs into the center field bleachers but that was before the stadium was 'remodeled' to shorten the distance to the fence. After the remodeling, the players who hit home runs to center field were Lou Brock, Hank Aaron, and Joe Adcock. It is also said that Negro Leaguer Luke Easter also hit a home run to the center field bleachers.
