Has Anyone Ever Hit 5 Home Runs In One Day?

Question

I see that some of you cant read. Not only that, you make yourself look even more moronic by being a smart ellick about it!

Answer 1

There has never been a player who has hit five home runs in one Major League game (it has been done a number of times in the minor leagues). There have, however, been two players who have hit five home runs in one day. Thanks to doubleheaders, Stan Musial and Nate Colbert were able to achieve that feat:

On May 2, 1954, St. Louis Cardinals great Stan Musial hit five home runs in a doubleheader against the New York Giants. Though he went 6-8 with five home runs for the day, he only drove in 8 runs.

On August 1, 1972, San Diego Padre Nate Colbert equaled the feat, hitting five home runs in a double header against the Atlanta Braves. He bested Musial by driving in 13 runs on the day. Interestingly, Colbert grew up in St. Louis and, the story goes, claims to have been at the ballpark the day that Musial hit his five dingers.

Answer 2

Yes. Both Stan Musial and Nate Colbert have hit five homers in a one-day doubleheader.

Colbert, 01-August-1972, San Diego at Atlanta, 2 in the first game, 3 in the second:

Answer 3

Didn't Art Shamsky of the Cincinnati Reds hit 5 consecutive HRs, 3 in one game, then 2 more the next day?

Answer 4

Fernando Tatis April 23, 1999 at Dodger Stadium as a Cardinal "i can not have self assurance it got here about. i did no longer assume to hit yet another one. i've got in no way been a house run hitter. I purely attempt to fulfill the ball. i'm unlike Mark McGwire" - Fernando Tatis Fernando Tatis, who had no longer hit a grand slam for the time of his significant League occupation, homered two times with the bases loaded — the two situations off Chan Ho Park — interior the third inning. Tatis, no longer in user-friendly terms grew to become the 1st significant League ballplayer to hit 2 grand slams in one inning, yet he additionally set a sparkling checklist with 8 runs batted in for the time of a unmarried inning.
