Adcock Enjoys Hitting Most At Ebbetts Field
Brooklyn June 18 AP Adcock, back from a benching, hit three home runs in Ebbetts Field as the Milwaukee Braves swept the doubleheader over Brooklyn 5-4 and 3-1. One shot sailed over the left field roof off Ed Roebuck, using a bat borrowed from Carl Furillo. Adcock has 21 homers at Ebbetts, ranking only behind Stan Musial among active players. He said he loves hitting there and could rival the era’s top sluggers if he played half the season in that park.
