Trivia
David Bell hit the first inside-the-park home run at then-Jacobs Field in the bottom of the first inning against Seattle's Randy Johnson. Two innings later Johnson threw two pitches at Kenny Lofton's head and touched off a bench-clearing brawl, after which Johnson, Lofton, and Indians catcher Sandy Alomar Jr. were ejected from the game. The first no-hitter was thrown 17 years after the park opened, the longest gap among active parks in which a no-hitter has been thrown. Interestingly, Cleveland's League Park boasts the longest gap---21 years---among inactive parks in which a no-hitter was thrown. Washington's Griffith Stadium went 20 years before the first no-hitter was thrown and Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium went 19 years. Batting Event | First |
