Why doesnt the Muskat say what time period these 36 bounce home runs for the Cubs occured. Is that one year , 5 years, 10, 20. That would help on how common they were. She points out this too.... "Also, into the 1920s, a player may not have been credited with a home run if, when hitting a walk-off, the winning run was someone other than the batter who hit the ball. The batter would only be credited with the number of bases required for the winning run to score. So, if there was a runner on third in the bottom of the ninth in a tie game, a batter hitting the ball over the fence would have been credited with a single." So Ruth could be robbed a couple homers. OR maybe all this is moot because the stat dudes have already figured this in the #s.
