Josh Hamilton Has Hit Four HRs IN A Game

[oldjudge]

and it is still the 8th. Hopefully he gets another shot. BTW, he is also 5-5.

from Wikipedia:
Warren Spahn pitched the ball which Gil Hodges hit for the first of his four, the only Hall of Fame pitcher faced during a four-home-run game

I believe if anyone can get the triple crown, it's that guy.

Two of them were by Jesus, so it's not that big of a deal.

A Minnesota Twins pitcher (Scott Diamond) just promoted from the minors actually pitched 7 shutout innings against the Angels and the Twins won 5-0. That's a more incredible feat than Hamilton's 4 HRs in one game.

Joe Adcock 4 home runs in 1954 game. And a double.
Great feat for anyone able to do it.

Angels have already been shutout 7 times this year. That lineup looks good on paper but their performance is another thing. Angels have been shutout during Santana's last five starts. He goes tomorrow, so you can probably write-in another win.

I was fortunate to be at the braves game in 1986 when bob horner hit 4 homers in the game. The braves still lost!

Well Hamilton is on one of those rolls that are so fun to watch...his early numbers after 33 team games are scary...17 Home Runs, 40 RBI and .407 avg.

Imagine that is only about 20% of the season so far

Another HR for Josh!! This is incredible.

I know...it's very early in the season...but look at Hamilton's numbers prior to today's game...and as already stated he hit another dinger today!!!! Noone is even close in any category!!!!!

I got him in my Fantasy League!!!!!

Bob, I totally agree with you on a Twins starter getting 7 shutout innings, we suck really bad.
