Baseball Trivia (General) - Frank Howard's 1st at bat

Expert: Tom Schott - 6/20/2007

Question
What did Frank Howard do at his first Major Leagus at bat with the Dodgers? I believe I was there at the Collesium as a kid, and I think he hit a homer. Is this correct?

Answer
Bob,

You're close. Frank Howard hit a home run on his second at-bat in the major leagues. Over the wall in left field at Shibe Park in Philadelphia with a runner on third. On his first at bat he flied out to center field. You can find the box score and play-by-play of this game at:
