[QUOTE="This Ain't Chopped Liver, post: 3153795, member: 74137"] Tonight the Stros tied an MLB record with five homers in one inning (413, 411, 405, 381, 360 feet). Three of them over the green monster, at Fenway. Rookie SS Jeremy Pena chipped in for one, his 7th of the season. [B]Five has now happened eight times, so then maybe it is statistically surprising that no team has ever hit six or more.[/B] Recently, five has happened in 2017, 2020 and now 2022, but not during the 40 years between 1966-2006—and yet some point to a dead ball [I]this[/I] year, ha. NL clubs have enjoyed a five-homer inning on five different occasions –[B] and oddly, in the first four, the Reds were the victims.[/B] The Giants have hit five twice, in 1939 and ‘61. The Minnesota Twins were the first AL team, in 1966, versus the Kansas City Athletics (A’s moved to Oakland in 1968). The first two homers were off starter Catfish Hunter in the 7th. Harmon Killebrew hit the fifth homer, his second of the game. The other four homers in that Twins’ 7th inning struck by Rich Rollins, SS Zoilo Versalles, RF Tony Oliva and 1B Don Mincher. The Yankees were the last team to hit five, in 2020, maybe surprisingly not having done it before. [/QUOTE]
