Best single game hitting performance in MLB history

[steve B]

Fred Lynns game in Detroit in 75 should at least get a mention.

5/6
3 hr
1 triple
1 single
10 rbi

16 total bases tying the AL record at the time.
The triple was close to being a 4th hr.

Nick Kurtz also hit a double that came within 10-15 feet of being a home run. Note the red circle where the ball was hit.

Unfortunately, he is only getting a rookie salary and will likely be gone when eligible for free agency.

Fellow hot hitting rookie teammate Jacob Wilson has a fractured left forearm.

Similar to Josh Hamilton's 4 hr game at Camden. He hit one maybe 10 ft away from being a homer that hit the track.

Wow, that's crazy that he was that close to 5 Home Runs!

Not to denigrate the 6 for 6 or four homer game, the total bases etc, impressive stuff to be sure, but I always thought Tony Cloninger going 3/5 while hitting two grand slams and 9 RBIs doesn't get it's due.

AND PITCHED A COMPLETE GAME against a Giants lineup that included Willie Mays and Willie McCovey...

...at Candlestick Park...
