Hamilton hits 4 homers for Rangers vs Orioles - Yahoo! Sports

What a game tonight!!! Whoever has him on their fantasy teams tonight are extremely happy. LOL!

Josh Hamilton has become the 16th player in major league history to hit four home runs in a game.

Facing the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night, the Texas Rangers outfielder hit two-run homers in the first, third and seventh innings and added another in the eighth off of Darren O'Day to tie the major league record. He also doubled in the fifth, going 5 for 5 with a career-high eight RBI.

The 18 total bases is a new single-game American League record.

The last player to hit four home runs in a game was Carlos Delgado on Sept. 25, 2003, for Toronto against Tampa Bay.

Two of the 16 players to hit four homers in a game did it before 1900. Hamilton is the sixth AL player to perform the feat.

Hamilton leads the AL with 14 homers and 36 RBIs and is batting .406.

That was awesome...who'da thunk someone would have 4 dingers in one game this year?? Very cool!

Maybe he ought to press the Rangers into trading him to the "Birds" , so he can play 81 games a year in ORIOLE PARK at CAMDEN YARDS and set NEW season HOME RUN RECORDS.

He really drilled the O's pitching last night, a great game of hitting. Hopefully it won't happen again tonight.

Homer alert : You can't even respond without bringing in your mancrush like he is in contention this year. Last season was an anomaly. JV isn't winning it this year
