The Washington Senators are proud of their slugging outfielder, Frank Howard, who is famous for his tape measure home runs. Every time he drives one into the bleachers at RFK Stadium, the seat it hits is painted white. Olaf Hall, of the maintenance crew, holds a paint brush 7/24 over one of the chairs previously painted. This one was estimated at 420 feet. The seat at left in second row also was struck by one of Howard’s clouts.
