"What stands out in Lochra's (Al, a friend of Ralph Hodgin) mind was a Cleveland batter hitting a ball deep to left field. It was going, going ... and just before a radio announcer could say gone, Hodgin, running at the fence full speed, reached up and robbed the batter of a homer. 'He kept twisting and turning around and he caught the ball at the fence,' Lochra says, adding the catch was so sensational Cleveland fans applauded Hodgin even though he was in the enemy's uniform. Hodgins laughs. It was unusual for the Cleveland fans or those anywhere to appaud a player for the opposing team." - by Jim Schlosser of News & Record (05/08/2006, 'Ralph Hodgin getting lots of extra innings in life', Source)
