Nate Colbert 17
Active member
On this date in history in 1972, my favorite player of all time, Nate Colbert of the San Diego Padres, tied a major league record when he hit five home runs in a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves. Colbert also set major league records of 13 RBI and 22 total bases in the twinbill.
The other player to hit 5 homers in a doubleheader was St. Louis Cardinal Hall of Famer Stan Musial.
In a rather strange twist, Nate and his father were in attendance at the doubleheader when Musial hit his 5 home runs in a game in 1954.
This information, and $5.00, will get you a small chinomochofrappelatte at Starbucks.
