    When was the last time a home team batted first?

    phills/blue jays a few years ago? Toronto had to play at CBP cause of the G20 Summit was being held in Toronto.

    i believe in these cases, philly was technically the home team even tho it was in toronto....

    other way around. Toronto was technically the home team even though it was in philly ;)

    ^agreed....anyways, up until 1950 the home team could select to bat first or second. way back when it was decided by a coin flip....but then they gave home team the choice, and generally speaking, the home team took last at bats.

    i did find a box score and write up from a 1908 cubs game where the cubs took first at bat, but i can't verify if it was the last time or not....

    Two questions:

    1. Who are the only two players to hit two home runs in one inning from both sides of the plate?

    2. Who is the only player to hit two grand slams in one inning?

    didn't this just happen recently? I was watching ESPN and i think Karl Ravich mentioned it during a segment. Can't remember who it was though.

    Good questions.

    Not sure about the first one.

    I think it was Fernando Tatis(not sure the last name is spelled right). 3rd-baseman for the Cardinals & i think he hit them BOTH off the same pitcher? Chan Ho Park.

    I don't have a trivia ?? but I'd like to know if anybody can answer this....

    Baseball is ripped down to 3rd base and knocks the 3rd baseman's golve off his hand with the ball still in it. Lands on the infield with the ball still in it....now is the baserunner out or is he/she safe at first?

    BTW this happened to me exactly but when my glove hit the ground the ball rolled out which solved that ???

    I thought so, thanks. That ball was hit so hard I had to back up a few steps just to pick up the ball off the hitters in a tourney years ago. The speed of those hits should have been something I was used to being a former hockey goalie.

    Ok I also have a weird baseball rule/questionm, lets say there's a ball hit to left field, the left fielder jumps up and catches it but then procedes to fall completely over the fence with the ball still in his possesion is it an out or a HR? I believe it's a HR but I'm not sure
    I will be what i could be
    Once I get out of this town

    It was that catcher for the padres if i'm not mistaken. First player ever to have his first 2 hits be HR's from both sides of the plate
