This is arguably the most out of context performance in major league history. If you look at people who threw no hitters or even perfect games (both of which are more common than 4 HR games) you find a number of folks you wouldn't expect. There's really no one on the post-deadball list (arguable exception being Pat Seerry, though he was certainly a power hitter with as many as 31 in the minors) like Scooter. Even the pre-deadball four homer in a game hitters (Delehanty and Lowe) we among the best power hitters of their generation, they just didn't have gaudy career totals.
