This Day in Baseball History: May 26, 1946 - Four days after hitting a monster home run at Forbes Field, Josh Gibson hits another tape-measure shot, this one at Yankee Stadium, leading the Homestead Grays to an 11 - 8 triumph over New York Black Yankees and into first place in the Negro National League. This makes it four wins in a row for the Grays, three of them over the cellar-dwelling Black Yankees. The Baltimore Afro-American estimates Gibson's blast at 440 feet, hailing it as "one of the longest ever hit at Yankee Stadium."
