Bottomley on September 16, 1924
I remember it well for on this day Jim Bottomley set an enduring record by knocking in 12 runs in a game against Brooklyn. He went 6 for 6 with 3 singles, 1 double and 2 home runs. He was so tired that after his sixth hit in the 9th inning, a single, he was replaced with a pinch runner. Jim hit a grand slam in the 4th inning. In each of his six trips to the plate there were runners on base and all six of his hits knocked in at least one run. I suspect that having an RBI in six different innings of a game may also be a record. The Cardinals won this game 17-3.
