Quote: DRich

I find the six hits to be the most impressive part of the accomplishment.


119 different players have had 6 hits in a game

Rennie Stennett, in 1975 is the only MLB player to have more than 6 hits in a game - he had 7

but only 16 different players have ever scored 6 runs in a game

no MLB player has ever scored more than 6 runs in a game

and no MLB player has ever had more than 4 homers in a game

.

Kurtz's double was to the deepest part of the outfield and hit just below the very tall wall. I think it would have been a homer in most ballparks. It was a game for the ages.
