Notes

  • Lowe, Gehrig, Colavito, Schmidt, Cameron and Delgado hit their four home runs in consecutive at bats.
  • Klein, Seerey and Schmidt needed extra innings to get four home runs.
  • Delahanty's home runs were either all inside-the-park, or two of each (accounts vary, but in any case, he is the only one that had any inside-the-park home runs as part of a four-home-run game).
  • Gehrig hit a deep fly in his final at-bat that narrowly missed being a fifth home run.
  • Adcock hit a double off the top of the wall in his second at bat that also narrowly missed being a fifth home run.
  • Horner's and Delahanty's home runs came in losing efforts.
  • Whiten's home runs drove in 12 runs, which also tied him for the major league record for most runs batted in a game.
  • Green also doubled and singled, going 6 for 6 and setting a single-game record of 19 total bases.
