According to legend, George once hit a homerun over the left field fence where the team played its home games in the lot next to the Dollar Store (old ACME) on New Addition that landed in a box car and travelled to all points west, wherever that was. Not coincidentally the ballpark was known as Wenner&#039;s Field given its location on George&#039;s father&#039;s farm.<br /> <br /> Longest home run in history?<br /> <br /> (Photo courtesy of the Brunswick Railroad Museum)<br /> <br /> My father tells a great story that once George and Zeke Wenner were in a bar in Weverton as young men when some guy picked a fight with Zeke. When someone asked George if he was going to defend his brother, the assailant, who was a big man, stepped up and said &quot;what are you gonna do about it?&quot; George, who had a stammer, answered &quot;uh whatawhata...you sure hit him a Jesus-peeler.&quot;....Peter Wenner</div>
