CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The pitch, a slider from New York Yankees righthander Doc Medich, started to run a little down and away.
But the baseball still found too much of home plate and stayed too high in the strike zone.
The Indians' Frank Robinson, still a feared hitter at age 39, whipped his bat through the zone as he snapped his wrists, made full contact and pulled a line drive over the left field fence in cavernous Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
Home run. And not an ordinary one.
