4 in a row... wow. Anyone know how many other times that has happened?

 

I don't know how many times it's happened in the history of MLB but the Dodgers did it last year.

Sad that even after a 4.2 IP, 7 ER game, you might be right.

The Red Sox became the fifth team in Major League history to hit four home runs in a row. The Dodgers did it last Sept. 18 in a key pennant-race game against the Padres to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth inning at Dodger Stadium. Drew, with the Dodgers last year, was also involved in that quartet.

 

This was the first time an American League team has hit four home runs in succession since the Twins did it against the Kansas City Athletics on May 2, 1964.

I saw that and loved it. I was laughing and cheering as loudly as if the Cubs were doing it.

 

I think this is something that everyone can remember for a long time.

Except Joe Morgan of course who said he had never seen four players hit homers in a row before.

So was I. But I am sure that by tomorrow morning I will be annoyed with how much press it will get. I can only imagine how many times it will be on ESPN.

Non-stop until the next Red Sox/Yankees series I'm sure. Then they'll play it a few times during each of those games.

 

Then it'll win an ESPY.

I get all emotional when teh cobs go deep 4 times in a week.

 

Didn't we home in something like 8 straight games at the start of the season?

the longest streak was 3 games from 4/5 to 4/7.

 

The cubs have homered in 9 out of 18 games.

 

They have hit a total of 14 good for 8th place in the NL.

I really thought we'd be lower than that. The last two days have helped out.

I thought I had heard Len during the Atl series say something about us having a homer in several games in a row....maybe he was talking about someone else or I just mis-heard him.

The Cubs didn't hit a home run on Friday against the Cards.

He doesn't watch any games he doesn't announce. I wonder if he owns a television

How else would he watch replays of games he announced?

Charles Finley was always trying to be like the Yankees when he had the team in KC. They were widely considered the Yankees farm system because the Yankees would trade them old has beens for good young players. Roger Maris being an example.

 

Anyway Finley wanted to make the dimensions of the park in KC to be the same as Yankee stadium. Which was shorter than 300 ft down the RF line at the time. MLB would not allow it. They had some rule that said new dimensions couldnt be that short. Yankee stadium got away with it because they were Grandfathered in. So Finley put a line on the field to show were the dimensions of Yankee Stadium were. He then told his PA guy to anounce any ball hit over that line would be a HR in Yankee Stadium. So after the Twins hit 4 straight homers the next guy hit one to the warning track in RF. The PA goes "and that would have been a HR in Yankee Stadium"

 

That was the end of those announcements.
