There was the Rangers’ Josh Hamilton in 2012, Toronto’s Carlos Delgado in 2003 and the Dodgers’ Shawn Green in 2002. How about the Mariners’ Mike Cameron in 2002? Not really. Remember Scooter Gennett for the Reds in 2017? Didn’t think so.
It hasn’t been a who’s-who among baseball elite since Schmidt in 1976.
Perhaps a reason four home runs in a game isn’t lifted up the way of a perfect game is a simple as those who have done it recently. He’s the only player in Captains’ history to mash four homers in a game. On the minor-league level, Will Benson of the Lake County Captain had a night for the ages playing for the Guardians’ High Single-A affiliate. Almost like a line drive that was climbing. On his fourth home run of that night - in the ninth inning - Colavito told The Sun: “The second it hit my bat, there was no question in my mind. It’s one of many reasons why Colavito was and is still a fan favorite for countless Cleveland fans.Īccording to a Baltimore Sun story, he entered the game in a 3-for-28 slump, and was ask jokingly asked before the game might he try for a bunt single.
He did it in the rarest of feats - in four consecutive at-bats. The only Indians player to do it was Rocky Colavito against the Orioles on June 10, 1959.
