June 4, 1944, two days before the still secret Allied Invasion of Normandy Beach, France-
HONOLULU STADIUM

Joe played for the Seventh Air Force team (loaded with    professional baseball players in uniform) against the Navy Sub Base team (also loaded with wartime baseball pro's) and before a record 30,000 crowd powered out a still standing record home run hit.

Joltin' Joe's homer sailed 435 feet out of Honolulu Stadium
