Top Hitters in Milwaukee Brewers Minor League History: #21 Sixto Lezcano, 1974 Sacramento

After the 1973 season, the Milwaukee Brewers moved their Triple A affiliate from Evansville, Indiana to Sacramento, California. Since the former ballpark of previous iterations of the Sacramento Solons had been demolished, the ’74 version of the Solons began playing their games at Hughes Stadium.

Hughes Stadium was a joke as far as baseball goes–the left field foul pole was 233 feet from home plate!

There was a ‘high screen,’ but the details seem to be lost to history. But the offensive totals were definitely not lost.

In 1974, outfielder Sixto Lezcano was in the fourth and final year of his stellar minor league career, and this was at just age 20.
