Back to Back to Back Homeruns????

r0nster · 07-23-2013, 09:27 PM

Wonders if anybody has gotten 3 homeruns in a row ??? I have gotten several back to back homeruns but never a 3rd in a row and a 4th which I think is a record for real life with 4 in a row.

consecutive games or in the same game?

r0nster · 07-23-2013, 09:38 PM

3 at bats in a row like for example Hunter Cabrerra and Fielder hits one out all in a row otherwise known as back to back to back homeruns

Never experienced it in OOTP 14 (which I have not played a lot for various reasons...), but saw it with my Raccoons in OOTP 12 at least once, but that was a few seasons ago and I don't have any screenshot to show it.

Fyrestorm3 · 07-24-2013, 02:14 AM

I have indeed seen three in a row (and the PbP does make note of it when it happens). And you are correct, 4 in a row is the record; it's happened 7 times, according to Baseball Almanac.

I actually just had this happen for the first time in any OOTP Version in OOTP 14. It was actually in Spring Training, but it was still neat to see.

Walsh06 · 07-24-2013, 08:47 AM

I had it once in iootp 2013 and once in ootp14. Pretty awesome moment.

MightyVotto · 07-24-2013, 11:58 AM

I had an incredible walk-off in my previous season. 2 outs bottom of the 9th. Down 5 - 3 to Cleveland. Ruth, Lazzeri, Gehrig, 3 straight solo shots to win it. Crazy.

It was 1926, too. Lazzeri and Gehrig weren't big home-run hitters yet.

The Wolf · 07-24-2013, 12:14 PM

Yes, I have seen this two or three times. The PBP calls it out, too.

I've only played 2012 (for past 2 years) and 2014. I've probably had it happen 6 or more times. The most recent was just a few minutes ago (probably about 20 minutes after I was on here and read this thread).

From the screen you want to take a pic of, hit ALT-Print Screen.

Open MS Paint

Paste

Edit any personal info (if you use your own name as your manager's name, for example) out of the image using the eraser.

Save Image to your HD as a .PNG file (smaller than other options in my experience)

Upload as attachment to your post.

I have had three in a row. Never 4.

mking55 · 08-02-2013, 01:12 PM

I saw it one week ago (last Friday night) in the Blue Jays-Astros game. Encarcion, Batista, and then Adam Lind. And if that wasn't enough, the Jays batted around and Encarcion hit another home run for his 2nd of the inning.

I guess it's like EA used to claim (maybe they still do), "if it's in the game, it's in the game".

dmacgreg37 · 08-02-2013, 02:09 PM

This team that I'm running with right now that I did it with on 6/18 (pic above) followed it up the next day with 17 runs on 14 hits (8 of which were HR!!).

Then the same group on 6/26 went HR, HR, 2B, HR (same hitters as previously) and one of them had 3HR that game, while another had 2.

Just had it happen during a real game, and as an added bonus, the first one was a 3-run Inside-The-Park HR!

JMDurron · 08-08-2013, 09:07 PM

I posted before finishing the inning, but then...

OH MY GOD!

I just made my spouse come look at the screenshot.

r0nster · 08-08-2013, 09:11 PM

WOW everybody has been able to do this .... Congratulations to ALL. However on the most recent post I like the picture. Cool

JMDurron · 08-08-2013, 09:35 PM

There really should be a news story for team achievements like this. It's certainly newsworthy.
