In 1993,
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Mark Whiten hit four home runs and drove in 12
runs in a game against the Cincinnati Reds. (Whiten hit 25 home runs in 152
games that season.) With that, he tied the single-game records in
both home runs and runs batted in.
Only 18 players in Major League Baseball history have hit four homers in one game.
