Departures of note

On August 20, 1938, as part of a publicity stunt by the Come to Cleveland Committee, Hank Helf and Indians catcher Frankie Pytlak caught baseballs that Indians third baseman Ken Keltner dropped from Cleveland's 708‑foot Terminal Tower.

The 708‑foot drop broke the 555‑foot, 30‑year‑old record set by Washington Senator catcher Gabby Street at the Washington Monument, and the baseballs were estimated to have been traveling at 138 miles per hour when caught.
