Ok, how about Fernando Tatis with 2 grand slams in an inning?
That was a one hour fluke.

Carlos Baerga's switch hit HR's in the same inning..

In 2003 Corey Patterson had 7 RBI's in MARCH.
Posada had 6 in March in '06.

Mark Whitten had 12 RBI in one game in '93, only 87 in the other games that season..

Ed Delehanty's 4 HR game in 1896, only had 9 in the other games.
Joe Adcock's 4 HR game in '54, only hit 19 in the other games..

Bob Horner had a 4 HR game in '86, his next ML season of '88 he hit a grand total of 3(in 60 games)

NOW here's an awesome one..

In 1884 Pitcher Guy Hecker had a 3 HR game for Louisville(AA), and only 1 more in all other games that year(378 AB's) He had more HRs in that game, that he did shutouts(2) in 48 starts. His HR total in that game(3) was higher than his CAREER era(2.93) over 322 starts.

And as for a fluke poor performance, Enzo Hernandez had 549 at-bats with only 12 RBIs in 1971 (for San Diego).

Duane Kuiper 1 HR (off the afore mentioned Steve Stone) in 3300+ career at bats.. no fluke, just no juice. Fellow No Cal-ers know he's an awesome play by play guy though.

I guess he was one of the reasons Nate Colbert drove in nearly 25% of his teams runs, by himself, a year after that.

Even Hack Wilson, in his 191 RBI season, only managed a 20% ratio.

Dave, I was going to mention that season as well. I believe Colbert's pct. of RBI's for his team is still the highest ever.

I bought a stack of 24 of these Bob Horner cards in 1981 thinking they might be worth alot of money one day. Just checked ebay, no takers $1 a piece bin.

Similar to Harry Hooper with a lead off home run in both games of a double header. Considering how few DHs are played these days, it might never happen again.
