Not sure if he was the first, but was it Jim Pendelton of the Braves? In 1953 he had a 3 homer game which was his rookie season. |

My money is on someone from the 19c. For an era not known for HRs there sure were a lot multi-HR games back then. |

I guess that one was too easy. Davey Johnson was managing the Mets in 1985 when the Phillies beat them 26-7 (it was 16-0 in the 2nd inning). |

Wow, you were at the 26-7 game! I remember now that Hayes hit two homers in one inning. I guess it's safe to say you will never see a higher scoring one. That's a once in a lifetime. |

Yeah, Dennis, before I remembered Benton, Bobo was the the first guy to pop into my mind because of his longevity. |

Poking around the 'net, regarding Benton, it turns out thst his other distinction is being the only guy to have two sacrifice bunts in the same inning.......... In case anyone asks |

Barry, if I recall correctly, Seaver went on a streak that took him into the World Series of 8 straight complete games in which he gave up a total of 8 earned runs. |

Mickey Cochrane did HIT 3 homers in an 1925 game during his rookie season. While David Vargha is a legend in PSA forum circles -- his answer is not the right one |

I know that Seaver won his last ten decisions, and that the Mets went from 62-51 to finish at 100-60. And although they only lost 9 games for nearly two months, they were no-hit in one of them- by Bob Moose. I'm doing all that from memory- does it sound right? |

The Phillies scored 9 in the 1st and 7 in the 2nd, so when it's 16-0 after two innings, you don't know whether to leave because the game is over or stay on the hope of watching history. Wish I went to a game like that! |

I know- he never hit another before or after, yet holds the major league record. One of the oddest statistics out there. |
