Josh Hamilton

[adminbaberuth]

Has clubbed 4 HR's and a double tonight.

[Ty Cobb]

You just beat me to it.  You must have made this post while I was typing mine.  Is 4 HR's in a game a record?  What about RBI in a game?

[adminbaberuth]

Hamilton's 18 total bases an AL record.

[Ty Cobb]

What are the odds that they pitch to him if he comes up again?

the last pitch was 0-2 sinker at 83.

[Ty Cobb]

He would not see a pitch anywhere near the zone if I had to face him again tonight.  I may even hold up 4 fingers to the umpire and see if they would allow me to intentional walk him without throwing a pitch.  ;D

[adminbaberuth]

He is 7th in order in top 9th.

This is the 16th time a player has hit 4 in a game.

250 no hitters all time in MLB. 21 perfect games. Only 16 4 HR games. So the history Josh Hamilton writes tonight is more rare

[bullets13]

i think 20-strikeout games and unassisted triple players are the only baseball events that are more rare.

4 HRs with 8 RBIs is a first

Hamilton having a little fun tonight

Hamilton on pace to hit 85 homeruns this year, Pujols on pace to hit 4.9

Hamilton is a beast! Also a great story about getting your life together. I am pulling for him.

[PhatMack19]

He just hit another bomb!  Wow what a week! 

[PhatMack19]

Since Monday, Josh Hamilton has same number of HR as the Padres, Royals, Astros, Giants, Tigers & Rockies COMBINED!!

this makes me happy.  pujols wanted way too much money, and the angels screwed themselves and gave it to him.  i stated before that this deal would be a bad one in another 5 or 6 years when his serious decline began.  who would've known he'd suck this bad so soon!  i'm sure he'll get it turned around, as he's been the best player in the game for the past few years, but it's nice to know that the angels are already close to being out of the playoff race and we're not even halfway through may yet.

How about two grandslams in one inning? That's pretty rare. Love what Hamilton is doing though.
