Buck Leonard said when they hit the ball, the sound of it coming off the bat was the same. Never heard it with anyone else

It's from an interview with Buck in Ken Burns' Baseball. In my opinion, the best of the many great excerpts sprinkled throughout the book. He concludes with the statement, if I live long enough, I'll hear it again. Not sure if he did or not.

When you think about modern baseball — the huge salaries and artificial turf and television. Do you ever worry that the game might not survive?

We've done a whole lot of things to hurt it, but it's a type of thing that you just can't kill it. You can't kill baseball because when you get ready to kill baseball, something is going to come up, or somebody is going to come up to snatch you out of that.

I heard Ruth hit the ball. I'd never heard that sound before, and I was outside the fence but it was the sound of the bat that I had never heard before in my life. And the next time I heard that sound, I'm in Washington, D.C., in the dressing room and I heard that sound of a bat hitting the ball — sounded just like when Ruth hit the ball. I rushed out, got on nothing but a jockstrap, I rushed out — we were playing the Homestead Grays and it was Josh Gibson hitting the ball. And so I heard this sound again.

Now I didn't hear it anymore. I'm in Kansas City. I'm working for the Cubs at the time, and I was upstairs and I was coming down for the batting practice. And before I could get out there I heard this sound one more time that I had heard only twice in my life. Now, you know who this is? Bo Jackson. Bo Jackson swinging that bat. And now I heard this sound... And it was just a thrill for me. I said, here it is again. I heard it again. I only heard it three times in my life.

But now, I'm living because I'm going to hear it again one day, if I live long enough.

Chipper Jones has homered for the Braves in 14 consecutive seasons.

Can you name the only two Braves players to have homered in at least 17 consecutive seasons for the Braves ?

and you're correct Peter. Mathews only homered in 15 straight, but did manage to clip the Boston, and Atlanta Braves as well as Milwaukee of course

Who was the first player to be intentionally walked with the bases loaded? Hint: He once was in the top 5 for career home runs!

Great job, Jim, however, as I said it was NOT a HOFer. Nap Lajoie was actually the 2nd player to have this done to him. The article you've presented talks only about the 1900s. Need to go back further.

Hard to believe, but this feat has only happened 4 times in the history of MLB. It nearly happened to Babe Ruth, but he was impatient on the fourth pitch and fouled it off. Ruth was called out for stepping out of the batters box.

"...this feat has only happened 4 times in the history of MLB."

wow, that is hard to believe...since we are guessing the first player to have this happen to them, can you tell us who the following 3 were?

Actually, it may have happened more than that as the intentional walk was NOT kept as an official statistic until 1955.

Sorry, Steve, but Jimmy Ryan is not correct.

Good point, Jim, but based off of the stats we have available, this is the best we can do, I guess.

Ryan was the first to be intentionally walked. Not, I'm sad to say, with the bases loaded.

More searching required.

Actually Jim, your article says:

Intentional walks were not included in official score sheets until 1955. But this strategy began in 1896 when William "Kid" Gleason, captain of the New York Giants, had pitcher Jouett Meekin walk Chicago slugger Jimmy Ryan to get to George Decker, a weaker hitter. Decker struck out to end the game.

I'm assuming that it is saying that this strategy started occurring in 1896. Bob gets the nod though as he has located the correct answer. GOOD JOB! The answer is Abner Dalrymple (not to be confused with Doubleday).

Considering my Buck Leonard/O'Neill confusion, I'm kinda surprised I didn't say Doubleday.......or maybe Clay Dalrymple

Not to bring up an old thread, but to the previous list of four walked intentionally with the bases loaded, add Josh Hamilton, on Sunday 8/17/08.
