Yeah, but Bob Horner holds the most career hit into errors.

Odd timing for posting - I just got done e-mailing a fellow roto player after I saw Green's stats in the boxscore.

That's a heck of a
week!
Say, where does Lou Boudreau rank in total bases in a game? I thought he, not Adcock, held the record. Maybe Boudreau just holds the AL mark.

Put an asterisk* next to the record. It was against the Brewers.

That's a great day in any ballpark in any league at any level.
The dodgers will still only finish third in the west.

When a player is on fire, he's on fire.
Besides, the asterik is saved for the Expos. I hope they are moving to Northern Virginia next year...

The Dodgers may finish third, but the Brewers will be fighting the Cubbies tooth and nail for sole possesion of sixth place.

"Amazingly, Green did it exactly three weeks after Mike Cameron's four-homer game ..."{GASP!} That is amazing! Had this happened a day earlier or later, it would have been a complete yawner.</sarcasm>
Let's change that "exactly" to "only," shall we? --Ed.

Ooops. The GAME RECORDS is for All Star game. My bad.

He received a standing ovation from the crowd of 26,728 at Miller Park. Fans with class.

Yeah, but Bob Horner holds the most career hit into errors. Just a question- were you watching the game the day Horner hit his four dingers? It is my firm belief that had it not been for the quick reflexes of Mike Sciosia, the Dodger's catcher, Horner would hold the record with five.
For any that didn't see that- Horner came up for his fifth at bat in the 9th because even after hitting four homers, the Braves were still losing. You could just tell by the way he walked up to the plate and by the glint in his eyes that he knew he was going to hit that ball out of the park. He foul tipped a pitch straight back over the catchers head and partly from luck and part lightning quick reflexes- the catcher thrust his mitt up and caught it. I just remember screaming "Damn!" but then again, had the Bravos been winning the game- and by God you should be if you have a man hit four home runs- Horner never would've come up to bat anyway. Oh well.

I think I was listening on the radio that day, so I wouldn't have seen Sciosia's catch. Sciosia was a good one.
Talk about lightning quick reflexes. Horner at the plate, so relaxed, then boom. What a quick swing.

Do you remember...Bob Horner actually beat out Ozzie Smith (then with San Diego) as the 1978 Rookie of the Year. But guess who's going to the Hall of Fame, and guess who spent the rest of a short career fighting off injuries most of which sprang from his apparent practise of eating more taters than he hit...Nice enough guy, apparently, but a too-classic half-dimensional, feast-or-famine power hitter who couldn't go the other way if he had a traffic cop giving him directions. Bob Horner actually had the distinction of making Greg Luzinski look graceful.
And as for Shawn Green - welcome home from the slump!

Some other Rookies of the Year -- Jim Lefebvre over Joe Morgan in '65, Nomo over Chipper Jones in '95.

I think I'd sooner have been comfortable with Nomo over Jones in their year than with Lefebvre over Morgan in 1965; clearly enough, the 1965 ROY voters were looking at the pennant-winning club and Lefebvre was an impressive enough rookie. If you're looking at a ROY winner who beat out a future Hall of Famer, then of course you look at Lefebvre v. Morgan. It's still too soon to tell whether Chipper Jones is a few-questions-asked future Hall of Famer, but Hideo Nomo is still a better-than-useful pitcher even if he isn't likely to be a Hall of Famer, especially when he remembers that he doesn't have to worry about throwing that almost changeup-like splitter of his for a first-pitch strike. Let them swing on it first pitch, when it drops right they're either going to air condition the field or whack it on the ground.
