Who coined the term between the hedges?

Answer 1

This reference to Sanford Stadium dates back to the early 1930s. Famous English privet hedges surround the playing field in Sanford Stadium. They have been in place since the stadium was dedicated in 1929. "Between the hedges" is a popular phrase that was supposedly coined by legendary Atlanta sportswriter Grantland Rice when he said of an upcoming game "that the Bulldogs will have their opponent 'between the hedges".

M. Lamar Keene in his 1976 book, The Psychic Mafia. Keene used the term to refer to people who continued to believe in a paranormal event or phenomenon even after it had been proven to have been staged. It has since been applied, more loosely, to refer to any belief without empirical or logical foundations.

Note: Grantland Rice coined the term and Keene used the term in a book.
