Today is the only day of the year where my signature is applicable!
Today is the anniversay of Nate Colbert's 5 HR, 13 RBI 1972 doubleheader in Atlanta.
Game One
1st AB Home Run (3 RBI)
2nd AB Single (1 RBI)
3rd AB Single
4th AB Home Run (1 RBI)
5th AB Called out on strikes (obviously a bad call)
Game Two
1st AB Walked
2nd AB Home Run (Grand Slam 4 RBI)
3rd AB Ground Out
4th AB Home Run (2 RBI)
5th AB Home Run (2 RBI)
Stan Musial also hit 5 home runs in a double header in 1954 and Nate and his father were in attendance at that game.
The Padres were awful in 1972 (and most other years), but that year Nate accounted for almost 33% of the team's entire offense.
