Question
My son heard this question on a Mets telecast earlier this year. Unfortunately, he was not able to get the answer.
Who is the only player to hit a home run in all of the NY City baseball parks (Ebbetts Field, the Polo Grounds, Shea Stadium, Yankee Stadium)?
I think the answer is Duke Snider, but I have not been able to verify it. Can you help?
Steve,
Four men who have hit a home run in all 4 New York Parks.
Hank Aaron
Wes Covington
Jim Gilliam
Frank Robinson
Gilliam only hit home runs in Yankee Stadium during a World Series; all the others hit at least one in each park during the regular season.
