Thursday Trivia IV

No. Fernando Tatis had two grand slams in the same inning. I'm not sure if he hit two home runs in an inning again, though.

 

Yeah, I remember Tatis. I think he even hit them both off the same pitcher (there's a good trivia question). But I don't think he did it again.

I also thought Whiten hit two in one inning as part of that four-homer game, but I'm not sure about that.

 

Mantle?

 

Is 3. Musial?

 

Whiten in the 1st, 6th, 7th, 9th:

Mantle? No.

Musial? No.

The Killer? No.

But of that era.

 

Thanks....this going off memory stuff ain't easy.

 

I'll take a shot:

3. Willie Mays.

4. Woody Fryman

 

3) Willie McCovey

 

3. Willie McCovey is correct, in 1973 and again in 1977.

4. The last AL pitcher to get a base hit before the DH was Larry Gowell of the New York Yankees on 10/4/72.

He pitched in two games at the end of that season, his only major-league appearances. His base hit came in his only at-bat, so he's a career 1.000 hitter.
Here's his story:
