HEY TED Z! Actually Nate Colbert duplicated the feat. In an unbelievable coincidence, he was a little boy who was in attendance at the DH where Stan originally accomplished the feat!

That's pretty cool. Just pulled up the box scores from Nate's historic day on August 1, 1972. Five homers against five different pitchers. 7-9, 5 HR, 13 RBI. Woah.

This performance was insane. After telling Don Zimmer that his back was sore and he might not be able to play that day, Nate Colbert hit a solo shot, two two-run blasts, a three-run dinger and a grand slam before the night was over. And apparently he barely missed another two-run homer when he walked after hitting one in the upper deck just foul of the left field foul pole.

Might? have had tape removed from the front, with signs of the solvent on the rear?? just a guess.
