didn't Carlos Delgado hit four in a game in 02

AMAZING video man. Loved the music choices. and the editing was beautiful, i don't even watch baseball and you still kept me interested all the way through
You should make a video promoting The HOF Careers of CF Kenny Lofton
and CF Andrew Jones
Showing Why they should be in The HOF
Because both of those Men most definitely were HOF worthy
And We as Real Legit Baseball Fans & Supporters should be doing our part for Guys like that , imo .
For a decade + They were both some of thee funnest players to watch In the History of The Game and that’s HOF Worthy
They had HOF Careers that are being forgotten because of the ends of their careers
Especially Jones. Lofton was steady & consistent throughout His career
Had they went out with a Pujols type bang then they’d be in the HOF already .
They both were HOF’s on Defense alone
But they both Hit & Ran extremely well
Far above avg
They were 5 Tool Players , Lofton not a great arm by any means but it was better than most people seem to think , I believe because of His skinny size & speed as well as His throwing motion makes people think He didn’t have a good arm but as a CF He had an above avg arm with great accuracy.
I think Great Platforms like Yours is A Great Place to remind people of just how amazing those 2 Guys were out there on The Baseball Fields ⚾️
& I actually met Andrew and He’s Such A Cool chill guy
He chilled & talked to My cousin Colin & I for over 25min after signing Baseballs for Us
When He was rehabbing in Vegas for The AAA 51’s ( Whom No longer exist )
Andrew Jones came up @ 18yo & Hit a HR in The World Series (youngest ever) and was still a cool down to earth Guy over 15 years later and full of awards & all the accolades
including a Ring 🏆
What about Tatis's 2 Grand Slams in 1 inning? It is likely the only home run record never to be broken.
I considered doing an entire grand slams segment, but the video was already long enough as it is
His father did it before him.
Bill Mueller of the Red Sox did it years ago, and he hit one from each side of the plate.
@@reggiejenkins6458 That's not what I was talking about. Tatis hit 2 in the same inning. Bonus points if you can answer of which pitcher. Mueller hit 2 in 1 game yes but not in the same inning.
@@ibrahimkhalif83oh is buddy not thinking straight? He is talking about Sr.
I get chills watching the Bonds 756 shot, I was there at the age of 7. I have the ticket stamped "Bonds HR". I barely remember the day but chills every time I see the video.
It was electric. I was there with my niece and nephew. We had season tickets that year, and remember getting pins for each of the home runs as he got closer to the record. My niece just found her 756 pin.
@@BeatLA24 somewhere in parents house we have a little bag of 756 pins. Would take awhile to find but I know we'd never get rid of it.
I have to live with the fact that the first piece of nationals trivia is being the team that gave it up smfh
Cheater
The Boone/Cameron pair of back to back homers was impressive because they both hit their own basically in the same spots.

man i love how there’s so many high quality channels in the baseball niche, this vid was great!
Glad you enjoyed!
Josh Hamilton came the closest of anyone that hitting five home runs in one game.
It was May of 2012, Elvis Andrus got on base four times and every time, Josh Hamilton drove him in with a HR.
In the fifth inning of that game, Josh Hamilton hit a double off of the wall with some top spin on it. Had that ball gotten up another couple of feet, or been hitting slightly higher, that would have been the fifth home run
He hit 4 HR in 4 innings!?
I do wish he talked about Jose Bautista’s insane jump in home runs ngl 2010 and 2011 he hit over 90 home runs in two seasons after not hitting more than 15 in a single season
Growing up during the prime Bautista years, I would've loved to talk about him. But the video would've been 3 hours long if I went through every player who had a few absurdly good power hitting seasons. Tried to restrict myself to only league record significant players
I’m very honored to be a part of this video, wonderful work my good sir.
Thanks for the help!
Sosa averaged 60+ HR over a 4 season stretch. That's 240 HR from '98 through '01. Holy 💩.
Great video. I love how baseball video essays are becoming more and more popular. Seriously there are like 5-10 channels coming out with high quality baseball videos that I sub to.
Drop some channel names?
@@ashleyllamas136 Foolish Baseball, Baseball Doesn't Exist, Secret Base, Retro Baseball, all good ones.
@@ashleyllamas136 baseball doesn't exist is definitely a good one.
@@Greenfrom3 Secret Base is very good as well.
rip vin scully, the call after hank aaron rounds the bases is iconic
As a Phillies fan thank you for including Bryce here but there's no way that'll happen with how old he is and where he's at currently. I'm certain he'll get to 500 though, and who knows maybe 600 if he stays in shape and eventually turns to DHing full time.
Personally I'd take 3 to 5 more Octobers after this year over breaking the all time home run record.
Bryce is the man!
Me knowing I could beat every record in MLB The Show...
I love the Summoning Salt styling
One of my favorite “getting a leg up” stories was a weird one about when Brian Roberts had his breakout season they said he had special contacts in his eyes that emphasized the red stitching in the ball so he could see how it was spinning - & when they banned that he fell back to earth.
I have not really been in to baseball the last couple years, now that my kids are in baseball I have been watching these videos and catching up. Thank you for the video, my oldest son and I watch all the time
Glad to have you!
The idea that Bonds didn’t start using steroids until 1998 is truly laughable.
What’s laughable is that he isn’t in the hall of fame.
Yeah, but if everyone is doing it then it's a level playing field.
This has been one of the best videos I’ve watched on TH-cam in some time! Great job 🔥
Buzz Arlett is the only professional player to hit 4 HR in a game twice in his career. He did it twice in 1932 when he was playing for the Baltimore Orioles (not the same Baltimore Orioles team as today, this was an unaffiliated AA minor league team in the International League, both against the Reading Phillies on June 1 and July 4, 1932.
Really fantastic video dude. Quality is off the charts and the presentation is great. I can easily see this channel taking off in a major way this season if he continues to put out videos like this
Extremely well made video, enjoyed every second.
Summoning Salt intro had me hooked immediately. Great story telling!
postseason records are a bit paradoxical aren’t they - if you do well enough to hit a ton of home runs, it actually could hurt your chances of breaking the record because you’ll play less games
That's not necessarily true. More home runs doesn't mean you're winning (resulting in less games played). If you become an actual threat you're more likely to get the Bonds treatment which would result in less at bats due to intentional walks or unintentional intentional walks (being pitched around).
Great video as usual Summoning Salt
Love these videos man!
Im a big summoning salt fan, and now I'm an And That's Baseball fan. Nice work bro!
Glad you enjoyed!
Whats wild is that for as much an absolute freak as Bonds was, the worldwide career record for professional home runs is Sadaharu Oh in the NPB with a staggering 868. Nobody in the history of that league has ever come within 200 of him, and his personal best was 55 in a season, just a metronome of power hitting in a league not historically known for it.
I've always loved that record as well. For all that people want to treat japanese baseball as a quad A league, they have and had players of astronomical talent, AND seem to produce better pitchers than hitters on average. Makes their hitting records worth more in my opinion. You dont hear about career minor league/semi pro players putting up over eight hundo, and Oh definitely faced better competition than that comparison in a true professional league. Reminds me of ichiro having the professional hit record, but not the MLB record.
It's an impressive accomplishment. Shame that the NPB (including especially O himself as a manager) played dishonorably and often refused to pitch to foreign players that were close to breaking his single season record.
man that intro is beautiful with the vin scully call in the back perfection.
Barry bonds 2002 playoff ABs were insane.
The content you make is extremely underrated. The time and effort you put into video’s is top tier. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
Love that intro! All about the Salt man!
Fun Fact: in 1998 Greg Vaughn was also in the race midway through the season.
Vaughn hit 50 HR
Griffey hit 56 HR
Sosa hit 66 HR
McGwire hit 70 HR
Another Fun Fact: the following year in 1999 Soda hit 63 HR. In 2001 Sosa hit 64 HR.
McGwire hit 65 HR in 1999.
Sosa has more 60+ homerun seasons than McGwire.
classic vid. i wish there were more videos just like this about different records in different sports.
This was great!
lol... all it took to subscribe to you was for you to intro the video with "we're finally landing" by HOME, literally my favorite artist. he follows me on twitter which is cool as well but yeah man great video!
amazing video man
Idk how you dont have more subscribers. Your content is great.
Your music choices are top notch.
Summoning Salt Music aaah!
Seems fitting since it's talking about records and breaking them.
Your content is amazing keep working hard
Glad you enjoyed!
This channel is MAD underrated. Keep it up!
It’s summoning salt for baseball
I thought I was watching summoning salt for a sec🤣🤣 great music man!!!
That Boone Cameron homer inning Is insane I didnt realize that happened
Nice work syncing the chord stabs of Home with the bat swings 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Very well made video. Sub earned.
Glad you enjoyed!
Nobody ever talks about how Maris won AL MVP the year before 61
I truly think Bonds record is unbreakable Harper Trout and Stanton need to double or more their home run totals in the second half of their careers I just don’t think anyone today can get to that 763 mark
Sorry babe, I'm busy watching a And That's Baseball's new video
You know ball
I thought you were talking about Ruth for a hot second😅
Excellent use of The Sandlot reference at the 16:42 mark
that intro goes hard, one of the best videos of baseball i ever see
Glad you enjoyed!!
Thanks summoning salt
Hank Aaron was a hero
This is going to blow up.
Great video. Always love digging into baseball lore.
That Bonds clip at the end, isn't the music from the Arceus event in HeartGold/SoulSilver?
Yes it is, I loved HGSS growing up
@@AndThatsBaseball I didn't get a chance to, but I did play the originals.
The salt tribute and baseball. To good
I fuckin love the Black Ops 2 campaign menu music for the background. Excellent choice
I know this is about homeruns but Bonds’ ‘04 season is the most absurd thing I’ve ever seen.
I am going to enjoy this⚾️
Was at the Guards game last night when José Ramírez hit three bombs, we were all hoping for a fourth but sadly didn’t get one. Still so so cool to see him hit his 200th homer!
Someone watches Summoning Salt!
I was gonna laugh about those 1800’s records then I remembered I can’t hit a ML home run. Only hit 3 in 2 seasons as a 2nd baseman in high school.
Harper may be the next but personally I don’t think Pujols got enough credit, but did he complain to start using steroids now he just played. That’s what Barry should’ve done then I would have some respect for him but I don’t and I don’t think people should because he’s a crybaby and causes greatness shouldn’t be overlooked. Mike Trout might have a saying that Homerun record too if you can stay healthy.
Albert definitely deserves a ton of credit
what’s crazy about the 2020 postseason was that corey seager had 8 that year as well
after the first 6 notes I insta sub-liked !
There’s only one thing wrong with this video. Bob Horner from the Atlanta Braves hit four home runs in one game, And he wasn’t mentioned in the video.
There have been 18 different 4 homer games, so I only covered a few of em. I considered covering Horner because he has an interesting career story, but ended up not including it
Love the summoning salt vibes
I know this vids been out a while but one thank you so much for the effort you put into your video your work is incredible. Also what is song you use for the background of this video? Particularly the intro.
We’re finally landing - Home
It’s frequently used by another youtuber called Summoningsalt, and the whole intro (and the video concept as a whole) pays homage to his style
Well done
NOT THE ARCEUS BATTLE MUSIC WHEN TALKING ABOUT BONDS CAREER RECORD
You do a better job at promoting MLB than the MLB.
I can tell by the intro music this bouta be a banger
I was right
The black ops 2 music around the 22 minute mark goes hard
Best CoD
I'm a simple man: I see Sandlot clips and references, I subscribe.
Everybody loves Sandlot
I love these so much☺️ How can I get you to post vids more often😂
U can do my school work for me
@@AndThatsBaseball 🤣😂 If it's arithmetic, I got you👊 Let's fn go, baby!
Bonds: “Fine, I’ll do it myself”
lmao I love the summoning salt opening
Ah yes the summoning salt intro 💦
i swear, Mickie Mantle is the only damn reason i’m proud to be from my hometown.
"and he went by babe".
That line went so crazy
Everyone talks about Bonds taking steriods (and ignores that steroids dont enhance hand eye or consistency) but ignores the obviously doctored Ruth footage or lack of real record keeping from that era. If anyone thinks guys from that era achieved their records without outside help, they're lost and cannot be saved.
always said that Clemens and who knows how many pitchers were using roids, fair game for batters. Especially if the owners and commish let it slide
I mean it’s a video about the HR records, and those don’t happen without the steroids. By the time Ruth was playing, especially post WWI, record keeping was solid
Steroids don't make you better at making good contact but they help you recover faster, train harder, get stronger, and that pop up that might have hit the warning track is now a few rows into the stands. No one in their right mind should think Bonds wasn't one of if not the greatest hitter of all time. But to say that steroids didn't help him break that record is being wilfully ignorant imo
Steroids help you recover quicker, helps avoid injury and increases testosterone. Are you suggesting that Babe Ruth was taking performance enhancing drugs similar to Bonds? Please... they were still giving people cocaine for colds in those days ffs
@@ItsGamingFancy oh i'm not being ignorant to it at all. but considering the league let him and others get away with it, it's why I don't focus so much on the historical aspect of the game. Guys like Griffey I feel never took them, they're the ones I focus on
OK, watched with glee as you nailed Artsy Fartsy Morono's feet to the floor boards in that magnificent video, pulled down another two or three of your tour de force analyses, and, when I saw you on one video doing the grocery delivery company spot, I thought you were young. Hell, let me amend that: You're a fetus!
You remind me of a dear fraternity brother of mine AND your talent for doing compelling and precise videos is outta the park good!
Gotcha a case of beer for that one, red leader..
..and a subscription too. Keep up the good work, old son!
As soon as I heard the intro music, I knew it was Summoning Salt.
nice vid
Thanks
I fucking love Henry (hank) Aaron. He only just passed on, January 2021.
Seeing Rays vs Astros at Petco Park is one of the weirdest parts of the 2020 season, I was so confused for a second before I remembered "oh yeah, COVID"
You gotta remember, Albert pujols is built like everyone that was juicing, and he played at the same time as everyone that was juicing, saying he has 700 homeruns is the same as saying bonds has 700
Assuming he was juicing with literally zero evidence is crazy
I was at dodger stadium the game Pujols hit 699 / 700. I almost cried during that beautiful moment
bro u got the bo2 music in the background nostalgic af
When Jose Altuve got 3 HR in a row in the first 3 innings i was hoping he could get the fourth (which he did not) as that would be insane though his 3 in that game did bring forth an intresting stat which was in the 9th of the last game and the 1st 3 innings here he got a Home Run which almost never happens where a guy gets 4 Home Runs in 4 consecutive innings. It is also worth noting is while he did not tie the all time record for all players he did tie the second basemen record which is 3. Also with those 3 HR in 3 innings he became the 4 player in all of MLB to do that crazy stat.
Baseball’s Biggest What If: What if Barry Bonds played for the Colorado Rockies?
😂😂😂
900 homers?
Bro the Black Ops 2 music 🔥
The A's just went back to back in the same inning with the same pair of teammates doing so against the Rangers. What a time!
Aguilar and Rooker did it in 2 different innings, still an insane feat
As a Pokémon and Baseball fan, you know baseball fans are nerds when you recognize Pokémon music playing in the background while talking about the career home run record 🤣
I had hundreds of hrs in HGSS growing up
Pokémon and baseball are my two loves as well! I thought i was the only one. They have similarities!
The famous (*) asterisk never existed nor was used. What the record books showed from 1961 until 1991 under "HR In A Season" was separate records, one for a 154 games season (60, Ruth) and another for a 162 games season (61, Maris). Then in 1991 Baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent ordered that only Maris' record would be recognized. Unfortunately Maris died in 1985 without enjoying being the sole record holder. ⚾
I love Harper but he doesn’t have even 300 career HRs and he is 30.
I appreciate you using Mark Whiten's nickname.
It's one of the best
Is this a new channel by any chance? This content is amazing and you deserve way more subs if you are an older channel ^_^.
Edit: Wait I just noticed Summoning Salt. You know him? The speedrunner?? That's awesome man.
I’ve been around for like a year and a half, been making good videos for a couple months now
As for Summoning Salt, I’ve dm’d him a couple times and he gave me the ok to copy his style for this
@@AndThatsBaseball Dude that's awesome. Keep up the great work!!
The Sandlot will always bring a smile to my face.
