Great trivia question. I'm surprised that Willie Mays is not on this list. Mays never hit a HR at Yankee Stadium ('51 & '62 WS). I do know that each of the following ballplayers have hit home runs at Yankees Stadium in a World Series game (Robinson regular season). I am sure that Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, and Duke Snider, all hit home runs at Shea, the Polo Ground, and Ebbets Feild. Frank Robinson hit 67 HR's in 1956 & 1957 for Cincinatti. I'm sure at least one at each the Polo Grounds and Ebbets field. He also hit a home run at Shea in the 1969 World Series. (last minute scratch Gil Hodges. Hit 9 home runs for the Mets in 1962 but Shea didn't open until 1964) This is only a guess. Correct me if I'm wrong. Here are the eight players that I think hit Home Runs at Ebbets Field, the Polo Grounds, Yankees Stadium, and Shea Stadium # Hank Aaron # Eddie Mathews # Duke Snider # Frank Robinson # Ken Boyer # Charlie Neal # Bill Mazeroski # Ed Bailey,
