HOME RUNS
George Suttles was a large man, built a lot like Andrés Galarraga, and he used one of the heaviest bats in history, a 50-ounce behemoth that he swung fast enough to launch a lot of home runs in the negro leagues. In his best years, with the St. Louis Stars, Suttles was a big swinger, ala Cecil Fielder: missing a lot, but when he connected, he sent the baseball long distances. Ray Dandridge insisted that Suttles hit a ball over the wall at Parkway Field in Louisville that traveled more than 500 feet.
