Subject: Hartman Park 1979 or 1980

I was trying to verify a story I always heard growing up. I played little league baseball in Redmond WA (yes the Microsoft Redmond WA). The park was named "Hartman Park". The little league fields (where I played) were located behind the legion/babe ruth fields. There was a large hill with a rock wall between the little league fields and the legion field. Legend has it (i must've heard this story from 5 or 10 kids) that Darryl Strawberry was there is high school senior year and hit a home run out of the park, up the rock cliff and onto the pitches mound of the little league field. This would definitely be possible, but also amazing for a 17yr old (Probably 525 feet). Was wondering if anyone knew that story. At any rate, after I got older and could digest the length I always thought that would have been absolutely something else to watch in person. A high school kid just crushing a fastball basically into another quadrant of a gigantic park).
