Big Annie’s Protest and Mickey Mantle’s Home Run | September 10

Today in 1913, Ana Clemenc, known as “Big Annie,” was jailed during a protest at Calumet mine while supporting striking miners. She was convicted of assault but continued advocating for workers’ rights. On the same date in 1960, Mickey Mantle hit what is believed to be the longest home run at Detroit's Tiger Stadium, traveling 643 feet into a nearby lumberyard.
