inside the park home runs

[m8644]

Anyone know where the best site is the find a list of all the inside the park homers in history.

Ive tried baseball-reference and baseball-almanac but could really only find the all time leaders.

Not the list itself, but the prospect of one: here.

Also, here's a list of inside-the-park grand slams up to the date of the post.

Ty Cobb led the league in home runs in 1909. Cobb, 9 home runs all 9 were IPHRs.
Tris Speakerr was second with 7 home runs, 6 were IPHRs.

The most awesome inside-the-park home run ever was hit by Roberto Clemente on July 25, 1956. An inside-the-park ultimate grand slam (walk-off HR, bottom of the ninth, down by 3). Awesome.

And here's the box score, which unfortunately has no play-by-play:

Here is one for you. The Babe hit a IPHR, April 23, 1919 against his future team, NY Yankees.
We've heard lots of stories about some of his long booming home runs.
This IPHR was probably his " shortest homer" ever.
Low line drive that took a wicked hop, over the shoulder of Yankee centerfielder Duffy Lewis, estimated at 215-240 feet.

If this is not one of the most exciting plays in baseball it IS the single most exciting one. It is a darn shame -a darn shame!- that baseball owners decided to deprive us fans of their occurrence by bringing in the fences and give us those detestable quirkless bandboxes. I would have loved to see how the old stadiums played with those enormous outfields and the prospect of an inside-the-parker was more realistic and frequent than it is today.

It would force players to bust it out of the box and not do that idiotic home run gander/jog once they think they hit they ball hard.
Shame.

I swear, so help me-I saw Ron Cey hit an inside the park home run. Near the end of his career, he was playing for the Cubs at Wrigley field. It was a long drive to center, I believe. I don't remember all the details, the outfielder must have fallen down and knocked himself out or something, and Cey waddled all the way around the bases. As he slid into home, Harry Caray, who at that point had been broadcasting baseball for about 45 years, said "Now I have seen everything!"

Pokey Reese hit a inside the park home run on May 8,2004 against the Royals.

That one was a typical Wrigley "wind blown" home run. Started out looking like routine fly to right, Dave Parker slammed in to the wall.
