First hitter to swat
Home runs from both sides of plate
In the same inning
 |
| 1991 Bowman #69 Carlos Baerga |
In the 7th inning of a April 8th, 1993 game against the Yankees, the switch-hitting Baerga hit a 2 run home run off reliever Steve Howe. The Indians batted around that inning, and when Baerga came up again, he hit another bomb from the opposite side of the plate. This was the first time a switch hitter hit home runs from both sides in a single inning, and has only been done twice more since.
Thought he was going to be one of the greatest 2B of all time seem to lose it after age 26
ReplyDeleteI remember sitting on a couple of his 1990 Leaf rookie cards thinking they were gonna be worth a lot of money.
DeleteImpressive, to say the least.
