Fun Fact of the Day:
Believe it or not, back before the start of the 1930 season, ground rule doubles were scored as home runs. As long as a ball carried 250 feet then bounced in fair territory and jumped over the fence, it was counted as a round tripper. When baseball first stared outfield walls didn’t exist, then they were built them as the game evolved, and so on. So, for the first half century of baseball, rules were still being shaped and discovered. This for sure was such an odd rule, that it had to be changed; now a days when the ball bounces over the fence, the player automatically gets awarded two bases.
