Who cares Manny blows!

Willie Stargell is the only person to ever hit two home runs out of Dodger Stadium. His first was a 506 foot bomb off of pitcher Alan Foster on August 5th 1969, and the other was a 470 foot shot off of Andy Messersmith on May 8th 1973. It wasn't for over 30 years before Mike Piazza became the second player and only Dodger to ever hit a home run out of the park. On September 21st 1997, Mike Piazza hit a 478 foot home run off of San Francisco Giant pitcher Mike Lansing. July 17th 1998, Mark McGwire hit the longest home run at 511 ft over the right field pavilion at Dodger Stadium against pitcher Brian Bohanon. Manny hit one in 2009, don't know the details. (LOL) (BROKE A WINDSHIELD)
For some reason I believe it was Mickey Mantle. But not certain. Lots of players hit home runs out of the ball park, especially now with the smaller parks. Barry Bonds and others have hit several balls out of the Giants park and into McCovey bay. Balls fly out of the Pirates stadium and into the river quite often, too.
No person has ever hit a fair ball out of Yankee Stadium! But Mickey Mantle came the closest on Memorial Day in 1956
The cue stick is used to strike the balls. The cue ball used by the players to hit the other balls is the white ball. It is the one they hit with the cue stick.
No, a fair ball has never been hit of Yankee Stadium. Mickey Mantle came the closest twice, hit right roof shots that hit the facade (1956 and 1963) coming within a few feet of leaving the stadium. Also, Josh Gibons and Jimmy Fox and Barry Bonds hit long shots that stayed in the stadium. Hack Greenburg hit a ball out of Yankee Stadium but it was declared just foul.
The most players the Dodgers have had hit 40+ home runs in the same season is 2 ... 1) Roy Campanella hit 41 and Duke Snider hit 42 in 1953. 2) Gil Hodges hit 42 and Duke Snider hit 40 in 1954.
Great trivia question. I'm surprised that Willie Mays is not on this list. Mays never hit a HR at Yankee Stadium ('51 & '62 WS). I do know that each of the following ballplayers have hit home runs at Yankees Stadium in a World Series game (Robinson regular season). I am sure that Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, and Duke Snider, all hit home runs at Shea, the Polo Ground, and Ebbets Feild. Frank Robinson hit 67 HR's in 1956 & 1957 for Cincinatti. I'm sure at least one at each the Polo Grounds and Ebbets field. He also hit a home run at Shea in the 1969 World Series. (last minute scratch Gil Hodges. Hit 9 home runs for the Mets in 1962 but Shea didn't open until 1964) This is only a guess. Correct me if I'm wrong. Here are the eight players that I think hit Home Runs at Ebbets Field, the Polo Grounds, Yankees Stadium, and Shea Stadium # Hank Aaron # Eddie Mathews # Duke Snider # Frank Robinson # Ken Boyer # Charlie Neal # Bill Mazeroski # Ed Bailey,
