Johnnie LeMaster


Born today, Johnnie LeMaster.

Johnnie is the only player to hit an inside-the-park home run in his first major league at bat.

If you look at that card, you can probably understand why it was an inside-the-parker and not over the fence.

Thanks for the reminder about Mr. LeMaster's birthday. I put a card tribute on my blog (http://agiantblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/card-tribute-johnnie-lemaster.html). :)

Thanks. In strolling through your tribute, I see that Johnnie sure didn't gain much weight over the years. He should have bought some of that Weider weight gain powder stuff or something.

Wow... I remember LeMaster... never knew that fact about him hitting an inside the park homer though. Great info... great memories!
