Rare 4 Homer Game

Bluenoser · 04-09-2020, 05:55 AM

4 home runs in one game is very rare. I had one other player do it a number of seasons ago, but that was a 15 inning game.

This was done in a 9 inning game.

Wow, just barely squeaked that 4th one in with his last chance.

I have a 50-league universe that's been going on since 2006, and the Continental League since 1988. The CBL has never had a four-homer game. 48 of the leagues in my universe have never had a four-homer game, and probably 15 of those leagues have never had a three-homer game.

But someone named Elmer Myers in the fictional, independent Southern Maryland League hit four homers in a game on 6/6/12 for the Chesapeake Beach Sunburn. That year he had 54 homers and 122 RBI in 107 games. He was a 35-year-old veteran who'd previously had several cups of coffee in the major league CBL, and the Japanese leagues.

I also have a very low-level international league in Sao Tome, a small island country off of the west coast of Africa. They have a 220+ game schedule and some wacky offensive levels and a few parks with short fences. Five players have had four-homer games there.

And Ignacio Muniz... had a five homer game last year. The Sao Tome Conglomeration has very small rosters, and in this game the Sao Tome Armadillos were already up by over 20 runs when Santana brought in their backup first baseman to pitch. Tagashashi Aoki gave up 16 runs in 2.1 innings to finish off the game, which ended up 44-12. The league had a .960 OPS overall, but 44 runs was completely unusual even for them. An average game sees 7.6 runs. In any case, Muniz went 6-for-6 with five homers, a single and three walks. His game score of 235 was more than 80 points higher than any other player all year.

If you exclude the Sao Tome Baseball Conglomeration I estimate that I see a four-homer game about once every 20,000 games.

Yeah, I had Y. Gurriel from Astros have a 4 HR night with 11 RBI. He alone scored 11,230 points or somewhere near that number

I can't remember which version it was, I think around 15, but I remember Markus posting about a game he had where ARod hit 5 in one game.

Never had it happen. Honestly didn’t think it was possible. Glad to see it can happen.
