Diamondbacks AA player Jon Griffin did this year. I thought 4 was the MLB record.

I know that Ted Williams hit 4 homers in 4 AB over four games. He walked every other time up during that span. It is not the answer but....still a cool fact.

+1--at least I am positive Stan did hit five in a double-header. Not sure if they were in 5 consecutive at bats. Good trivia question, Ted.

I believe he hit three to end game 1, then walked in his first AB of game 2, and then hit two more in a row.

No player has ever hit five homers in consecutive at-bats in the majors, but someone did it on a high school softball field in Kentucky.
Sheperdsville (Ky.) Bullitt Central High star Hailey Szpila drilled five home runs on consecutive at-bats during a three-game stretch for her team. As reported by the Louisville Courier-Journal, Szpila wrapped up her performance in Bullitt Central’s victory against Elizabethtown (Ky.) High with a solo shot, then exploded for three homers during a record-setting afternoon against Taylorsville (Ky.) High, where the junior accounted for nine RBI (two of her homers were grand slams) and tied the state record for home runs in a game.
Bullitt Central won that rout 15-1, but Szpila’s crowning moment came the very next night, when the junior started off Bullitt Central’s victory against South Oldham (Ky.) High with yet another home run.
Three games, five at-bats, five homers. All in a week’s work for the star, who starts as both a pitcher and first baseman.

Nate Colbert?

If Reggie has been deemed incorrect, I nominate Ralph Kiner as our honorable mention. 4 consecutive HRs in 1947 and again in 1949.

I remember reading on a 1975 Topps card that Al Rosen hit 5 home runs in one game but as a minor leaguer. I'm not sure if they were consecutive or if the minor leagues pertain to this question, but it is still an impressive feat.
