occurred on June 25, 1976...
It's truly amazing... The Rangers and White Sox played a double-header: The Rangers won game 1 on a bottom of the ninth grand-slam by Toby Harrah. Gaylord Perry went the distance for the win and, among the five stolen bases the White Sox stole on him was a steal of home by Bucky (pre-f*cking) Dent! The White Sox won the second game 14-9. Toby Harrah was 3-for-3 with another homer in the loss, finishing a 6-for-8 day with 2 homers & 8 RBIs. So, Mr. Harrah had quite a day, huh? But other players have had days equal to what has already been stated. So , what made THIS day so ONE-OF-A-KIND? (though it may qualify, I am not referring to Dent's steal of home>) .

According to a 1977 Topps baseball cartoon Toby Harrah played an entire doubleheader without making a putout or an assist, if I remember correctly from my ten year old self in 1977.

To be clear, it wasn't as a pinch runner seven times in a single game, it was during the entire 1969 season - one AB, four runs scored.

It's impossible to be a pinch runner more than once per game.
