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.

Not Musial. His big day (2 May 1954, vs NY Giants):
Game 1: walk, solo HR, 2-run HR, single, 3-run HR
Game 2: walk, fly out, HR, HR, pop out

A-Roid nephew Joe Durand hit eight in a row for Miami Gulliver Prep School in a tournament in March.

There is a Major Leaguer that went 5 for 5 official times AB.

And, he is a well-known ballplayer.

Well someone obviously walked in between. Trick question, or one that requires careful parsing anyhow. I'll guess. Mike Schmidt.

I remembered this...Mike Cameron tied a major league record when he hit four home runs in one game becoming only the 15th player in MLB history to do this. In his fifth at bat, he hit one to the warning track, just missing what would have been a record setting fifth home run. I was Living in San Diego and Cameron was oN the Padres the Year before He Done His Deed!

So, I Believe that Cameron was the last to hit 4 in a one game!
I also think that Ted's Question has a bit of a twist to it... maybe 2 in one game and 3 in the next?

However, I've never heard of anyone to Hit 5 HR's iN 5 AB's... Interesting!!!

grasshopper humbly awaits your answer...
