What did Lou Brock and Hank Aaron do on consecutive days in 1963 that had only been done once before. Who was theother player to do it?

Hit a ball into the CF bleachers at the Polo Grounds. I know Joe Adcock did it.

Correct on all counts. They are the only ones to accomplish that feat.

Truly remarkable that it only happened 3 times ever and 2 of them were in consecutive days.


Also, if I'm not mistaken, no player ever hit one over the clubhouse wall in CF at the Polo Grounds, right? That would be one hell of a shot at 480+ feet away and a 60 foot high clubhouse wall.
