	Longest Home Run Ever Hit by Baseball Almanac
		That was the start of modern long-distance hitting, and it is a testimony to Ruth's uniqueness that he was able to set objective standards of performance that have never been surpassed.
		Mantle, or anyone else, had sufficient strength to hit a ball that was still traveling upward when it met the towering facade, he would also have enough strength to clear that same facade by a distance of at least 100 feet.
		Allen could not hit with the same power in those directions as when he pulled the ball, but he seems to have lost less distance than almost anyone else when hitting to the opposite field.

	Winning with the Hit and Run
		The higher hit and run designations do provide a good measure of advancing base runners, particularly for those player cards without a sufficient level of hit and on-base chances, but also as a means of avoiding double plays.
		While the value of the hit and run assists in avoiding potential double play situations and promotes the advancement of base runners, one of the largest benefits of this strategy consists in the changes that occur on the pitcher cards.
		This means that the hit and run strategy minimizes the effect of the strikeout pitcher, such as the 2002 Randy Johnson or the 2003 Kerry Wood or Eric Gagne cards.

	List of home run calls in baseball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Additionally, professional baseball possesses a long tradition of being broadcast on the radio, exclusively before and concurrently after the advent of television, leading to baseball announcers' use of colorful language and baseball statistics to keep the listeners informed and verbally "paint the picture" of what is happening in the game.
		This practice was adopted by advertisers during baseball broadcasts, who would often pay the team to instruct their announcer to incorporate the advertiser's product into the home run call, such as Mel Allen's call of "That's a Ballantine blast!", an advertisement for Ballantine beer.
		A home run to the deepest part of center field, a rare event (such as Reggie Jackson's third homer in the finale of the 1977 World Series), is "into the fl," for the fl-painted seats that form the batter's background.

	In Baseball, What is a Hit and Run?
		A hit and run is a term in baseball that describes a runner on base attempting to steal a base while the hitter/batter makes contact with the ball.
		This is because the hit and run play is an attempt to compensate for the lack of good hits of the ball by moving the players forward to the next base.
		The hit and run is successful when the batter makes contact with the ball, and sends it far enough away that the runner has time to successfully steal the base.

	Baseball: stats hit a home run with fans - Sportingo
		In many ways, I feel that it was way better to be a baseball fan in the glorious era from 1960 until about 1975, as opposed to today.
		But he led the AL with 132 runs created, although he was behind Hafner, Manny, Thome and Ortiz (and tied with Giambi!!) for runs created per 27 outs.
		Jeter's stolen bases (34 out of 39) are part of his runs created, so he doesn't get extra credit for them, but I guess he must earn a bit of a bonus for trying to play a very demanding defensive position, even though he really shouldn't bother trying.

	Hit and run - NetShrine Discussion Forum
		I agree that a run and hit is the play to use.
		The chances of hitting into a double play by holding the runner far outweigh the chances of lining into two.
		If you have a weak hitter up who doesn't strike out much, the hit and run is like a sacrifice, but there's a 20% chance you'll wind up first and third and no out rather than man on second and one out.

		A well executed hit and run is not a runner safe at second, it's runners at first and third.

		But the Dodgers pushed across a run in the top of the seventh, shut down the Giants for the final three innings, and thus spoiled the historic day for Bonds and the pennant-contending Giants.
		The previous record for most home runs in a professional baseball season had been held by little-known Joe Bauman, a lefthanded-hitting first baseman for Roswell (New Mexico) of the Class C Longhorn League, when he hit 72 home runs in 1954.

		It doesn't count the ones robbed by leaping, tumbling outfielders, or the ones that died at the warning track, the victims of stiff winds or heavy air or mighty swings that were just a tick off kilter.
		Nor does it include the three hit by Michael Jordan in the minor leagues, nor the 868 hit by Sadaharu Oh in Japan, nor the one that 75-year-old Luke Appling hit in an old-timer's game in Washington, D.C., in 1982.
		Banks, who hit 512, putting him in the exclusive (but getting less so by the year) 500-homer club, is just getting started.
