 And it was an inside the park grand slam. The ballpark back then was so big that it was nearly impossible to hit the ball over the fence. McPhee hit a long drive between the outfielders that rolled all the way to the wall nearly 500 feet away. And he raced around the bases to beat the throw. A thrilling highlight for Hall of Famer Bid McPhee this July 11, 1892, this state in Reds baseball.
