I can't find my trivia book. I need help! Has a major league player ever hit two homeruns in one inning? I assume it has happened. I have memories of reading that a pitcher once did it. The question was raised on Saturday when Jim Rice had the chance to hit two homers in one inning against the A's. While on the subject of hitters and innings, what is the most productive inning a hitter has ever had? Stuart Kolodner ihnp4!inmet!ada-uts!stuart

>Has a major league player ever hit two homeruns in one inning? >I assume it has happened. I have memories of reading that a >pitcher once did it. While an unusual occurence, it is not rare. The last one I remember was Cliff Johnson for the Yankees against the Toronto Blue Jays around 1978. At the time, someone wrote a list of previous occurences, somewhere around 15 names long.

>> Has a major league player ever hit 2 homeruns in one inning? I don't know about that, but there was a player in the Texas League in the 40's who hit THREE homeruns in one inning. I believe he played for Waco ( I don't have my trivia book available at the moment, and his name escapes me ). Seems as though he didn't do much when he came up with the Red Sox. > Didn't Tony Cloninger ( of the Braves?) hit 2 grand slams in one inning? > Or was that in one game? I think you're right. I do know that Jim Northrup of the Tigers hit grand slams on consecutive at-bats in one game in 1968. He had a total of four that year, including the one in Game 6 of the World Series that year. Oops-I'm sorry, I just realized I didn't say what you were right ABOUT; I believe Cloninger's were in one game, but not the same inning. No cerebral signoff, Mark Tompkins MBT Co. epsilon!mb2c!mlt

(Milwalkee) But to answer tour first question Ray Knight -then of Cincinatti- hit two homeruns in the fifth inning against the Mets.

As has been shown, many people have hit two homers in one inning. There was also a game about 30 years ago where 3 or 4 people had 2 doubles in one inning. But only one person has THREE hits in an inning, and only one has THREE RUNS in an inning. Who are these two people. (Obvious hint: it happened in the same inning.)
