Has there ever been an inside the park home run that didn’t involve a defensive misplay?

Cue to Drungo: Polo Grounds or some other non-Field of Dreams field

By the way, I timed Trey’s trip around the bases at 17.3.   That’s definitely extremely slow for an inside the park homer.   I tried to find what was the slowest known inside-the-parker, but didn’t have any luck.  

My guess would be Gus Triandos, who made Matt Weiters look like Usaian Bolt.  I was listening to the game on radio; we did that back then. There would have been time for a commercial break.

OMG, TY for the memories. My mother's fav and the reason I'm an O's fan. Homerun or strikeout, my father would say. Obviously sided with Mom. lol

Players get hurt running hard often enough and those rare injuries (typically reaggravating a minor nagging injury) results in worse outcomes for the team (multiple missed games) that more than offset the benefit of running hard on every single routine flyout (perhaps a couple extra bases a season for an entire team).

Good point. But run - not run hard - instead of simply jogging, makes sense, doesn't it?
