Stadium Quiz 3

 

A home run has never been hit into the centerfield bleachers.
In this ballpark Joe Dimaggio's hitting streak came to an end.
Home of the Dawg Pound.

 

 Solved!!! Answered correctly by Tyler C. who correctly stated Cleveland Municipal Stadium.  The streak for Dimaggio came to an end on July 17, 1941.  The streak was robbed from him by 3rd baseman Ken Keltner's defensive plays.  The Dawg Pound is the area in the centerfield bleachers where rowdy fans for the Cleveland Browns "held court" for many years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solved!!!  August 2nd by Tyler M who correctly guessed The Polo Grounds in New York, home of the NY Giants.  "The Catch" was made by Willie Mays of the Giants off the bat of Vic Wertz of the Cleveland Indians in the 1954 World Series.  The ball traveled 450 feet,  for an out!
