Yesterday, josh hamilton tied the MLB record with 65,438+05 other players and hit four home runs in one game. An even rarer event in history happened on this day. First baseman Jim“Diamond "of Baltimore Orioles successfully reached the Grand Slam in two consecutive innings (the first and second innings, with home runs estimated at 465,438+00 feet), becoming the first player in history to achieve this feat on the way to the Year of Monsters. That year, in his second full season in the major leagues, Jin Ti-lai hit 0.302 points, 46 home runs and 1, 4 1 home runs with a shooting percentage of 0.423, which was the best season of his career so far, even though he was an all-around player for most of his career. In 196 1 season, he also won five grand slams. This record will represent 1987 in 26 years, and the total score of Don Mattingly will reach 6. Strangely, Mattingly, the only Grand Slam champion, won a Grand Slam in his brilliant career.
The MVP figures of these "foreigners" are ultimately not enough to win the awards of that year; Gentile won the third place. Why? Well, if you know your baseball history, it was the year when Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle tied Beibei's single-season home run record. Maris finally made it through and hit a home run of 6 1. Mantel lost 54 home runs. Maris finally won the MVP, although Mantel was the best year in three years. He played 0.3 17 ball, and the base hit rate was 0.448, which was 1 1. 1 (better than the substitute). In contrast, Mantel's 8.6 games and Maris' 7.9 games. However, you broke one of the most important records in baseball, held by a legend, which was once considered an unbreakable record, which made you get a little promotion in MVP voting, I think.
Since Gentile's two consecutive Grand Slams, besides himself, there are five players who have played in several consecutive Grand Slams: Jim Northrup (1968), Frank Robinson (1970), Robin Ventura (1995) and Bill Muller (2005). However, a player did something more impressive and rare in the grand slam. 1On April 23rd, 999, Fernando Tatis won two Grand Slams in the same competition, both of which were works by Chen Haopu.
It should also be noted that you sometimes read that Jim tabor managed the Grand Slam in 1939 and became the first person to "really" do it, but in fact he didn't read Wikipedia disapprovingly. Although he played two Grand Slams in the second doubles match on July 4th 1939, it was not in back-to-back matches, but in the third and sixth games. In addition to these two Grand Slams, he also played a singles in that match. Moreover, in the first game of the day, he also hit a home run and gave him four home runs, 1 doubles and 1 walks. Talking about being in this area. The Red Sox scored 35 points with 19 points that day, which was obviously not a good day for pitchers.
Additional facts:
Another amazing thing happened in baseball yesterday. Except for Hamilton's four home runs, it happened only once before. Adam Dunn was out in the ninth inning. He extended the game of striking out to 35 consecutive games, which was something that only one player had done before. Today, Dunn was out again, extending his winning streak to 36 games. One more game, and the record is all he has! Mike Cameron of the Seattle Mariners just missed the chance to become the first major league baseball player to hit five home runs in a game. On May 2, 2002, in that decisive game, he hit four home runs against the White Sox. At the last stroke of the ninth inning, he flew to the warning runway in the right midfield, where the center fielder jumped up and caught the ball and hit the wall. A few more feet, and there will be five points in a game. There are six batters in Cameron's game, and the top four batters hit home runs, all in the fifth inning. At his fifth batter, he was hit by a pitch, and then at the sixth batter, he flew out as described. Although Cameron didn't set a home run record, he helped set another unprecedented singles record. Brett Boone hit two home runs in the first inning, and Mike Cameron hit the ball behind him and hit two home runs. This is the only time in the history of Major League Baseball that two players from the same team hit two home runs each in the same inning. On May 2, 2002, the match between the Mariners and the White Sox was equally interesting. Although the Mariners were full (finally 65,438+05 hits were calculated from 65,438+06 hits and 4 walks), Cameron's four home runs were all first base hits. 1On May 30th, 894, the first Major League Baseball player to hit four home runs in a game was Bobby Law. The first major league player to reach a Grand Slam was considered Roger Connor, who played for the Trojan Horse on September 188 1. However, it should be pointed out that another player playing for the Boston Red Sox, Charlie Gould, entered the Grand Slam at 187 1. However, although the Boston Red Sox eventually became the Atlanta Warriors, it was a major league club because it was a member of a national association at that time, but it was not official because Major League Baseball did not recognize the statistics of the national association. In the history of this game, * * * 13 players won two Grand Slams in the same game, the first one was Tony Lazzeri on May 24th, 936, and the last one (so far) was Josh Willingham on July 27th, 2009. The number of Grand Slam hits by any player in his career is currently 23, which was completed by Lu Grieg. However, Alex Rodriguez took away his health 22 times. Manny Ramirez is also quite close to 2 1 times. In 2006, when Travis hafner tied Mattingly's record of six Grand Slams in a single season, he played five Grand Slams before the All-Star game, and only 1 Grand Slam in the second half of the season. King Felix Hernandez is not only a gifted pitcher, but also the first American League pitcher to reach a Grand Slam since DH Rule 1973 was established. No other pitcher in the game can do this except John Santana ... He closed his eyes (seriously). When the ball hit the rebound, Felix closed his eyes and waved hard, but the game was not all sunshine lollipops for Hernandez. When a runner rushed at him, he hurt his ankle while trying to stop the home run. Another rare pitcher's record was set by Johnny Vandermeyer at 1938, when he successfully hit the ball continuously. Although there are about two batters per season on average, no one can do it yet, although Justin Whelan's recent performance is the closest. The next game was in 20 1 1 year. After Vilander's second no-hit, he managed to get into the sixth inning and then gave up a shot. On September 2, 2008, the unfortunate Seattle Mariners once again made their fans (including me) unrecognizable. At that time, they succeeded in becoming the only team that I thought had won three games in a row, but the bat never touched the ball. In that game, Raul Ibana quit. When he did this, Adrian Burt tried to grab the second place, but was eliminated. Jose Lopez tried to go home after seeing the second place eliminated, but he was also eliminated. This is basically the enthusiasm of sailors in the past eight seasons. But things are finally getting better … at least … until "Oh, yes, sailor" begins, I think. Toby Halla, who played for the Texas Rangers, set a new fuzzy record for two consecutive seasons. 1976 both games are shortstop double-headed. This is obviously not a record. The record is that he missed a goal in two games. This is the first time that the shortstop has hit a double header in every game, but the ball has never hit him. The next year, Hara and Bumpy Wells hit home runs in a row in the park, which is the only time so far.
