But Reggie did it on THREE PITCHES! Think that will ever be done again?

I sure remember that. The Yankees beat my dodgers in '77 and '78. I truly believe that the difference in 1981 when the Dodgers took he series was the absence of Bucky Dent at shortstop. The Dodgers were finally able to get some grounders through the infield, especially on that hard Dodger Stadium clay.

IIRC, He also hit the first pitch for a home run in his first at bat in the following game. Four pitches, four home runs.
