I don't know any definitive answer to this, but I would imagine it has been done dozens of times. All you've got to do is bat around to have the opportunity, and neither is particularly hard to do. How about two homers and two SBs in the same inning? Phil

1957 was a great year for New York Yankee star Mickey Mantle. He won the MVP award and his batting average was .365. For people not familiar with baseball, that batting average is outstanding. To look at it in another mathematical way, it meant that for every 10 times at bat, he made a hit more than 3 out of 10 times. In any given 9 inning game, his team could almost count on Mickey getting a hit, on average once a game. This is an approximation.
