Of the sixteen players who have hit four in one game, six have hit them consecutively. Twenty-eight other batters have hit four consecutive across two games. A grand slam occurs when the bases are "loaded" and the batter hits a home run.
Home Run is a very good and very simple story; more main-stream than Facing the Giants, Fireproof, or even Courageous. It chronicles the career of a major-league baseball player whose excesses get the best of him. We watch and enjoy the repair of his life and the lives of those around him. Due to it's simplicity and perhaps audience apathy towards this genre, Home Run will likely prove to be one of the most underrated films in a long time. It is of a recent slate of Christian message movies, and carries a certain pro-Celebrate Recovery message...
The Hangover Homer
A walk-off home run over the fence is an exception to baseball's one-run rule. Normally if the home team is tied or behind in the ninth or extra innings, the game ends as soon as the home team scores enough run to achieve a lead. If the home team has two outs in the inning, and the game is tied, the game will officially end either the moment the batter successfully reaches first base or the moment the runner touches home plate—whichever happens last. However, this is superseded by the "ground rule", which provides automatic doubles (when a ball-in-play hits the ground first then leaves the playing field) and home runs (when a ball-in-play leaves the playing field without ever touching the ground). In the latter case, all base runners including the batter are allowed to cross the plate.
Southern Hospitality season one airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo. “She tends to come to the club pretty frequently … and sometimes she’s stumbling and slurring her words,” she teased.

” They have an innovative soft-toss pitching machine, so you don’t have to worry about 60-70mph fastballs flying towards you. Instead, the ball pops up out of the ground and floats for a moment so you can bat with ease. Once you hit a ball, their equipment can calculate the launch angle and exit velocity so you can see how close you are to going pro! Home Run Dugout can accommodate all skill levels, adjust settings for your batting experience, and enable a “boost” to get a gust of wind or pull the fences in for soft hitters. Mantle, who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974, will forever be a baseball legend of the game.

On October 31, 2009, in the fourth inning of Game 3 of the World Series, Alex Rodriguez hit a long fly ball that hit a camera protruding over the wall and into the field of play in deep right field.

For starters, "The Mick" began his days with a big glass of what he called the "breakfast of champions." It consisted of brandy, Kahlua and cream. Many times he and teammate Billy Martin would walk into Mantle's restaurant on Central Park South and order the drink to kick off a full day of boozing. Major League Baseball players certainly know how to party and are no stranger to the bottle.
In modern times a home run is most often scored when the ball is hit over the outfield wall between the foul poles before it touches the ground , and without being caught or deflected back onto the field by a fielder. A batted ball is also a home run if it touches either a foul pole or its attached screen before touching the ground, as the foul poles are by definition in fair territory. Negro league slugger Josh Gibson's Baseball Hall of Fame plaque says he hit "almost 800" home runs in his career. The Guinness Book of World Records lists Gibson's lifetime home run total at 800. Ken Burns' award-winning series, Baseball, states that his actual total may have been as high as 950.

In 1987, Joey Meyer of the minor league Denver Zephyrs hit the longest verifiable home run in professional baseball history. The home run was measured at a distance of 582 feet and was hit inside Denver's Mile High Stadium. On May 6, 1964, Chicago White Sox outfielder Dave Nicholson hit a home run officially measured at 573 feet that either bounced atop the left-field roof of Comiskey Park or entirely cleared it. Major League Baseball's longest verifiable home run distance is about 575 feet , by Babe Ruth, to straightaway center field at Tiger Stadium (then called Navin Field and before the double-deck), which landed nearly across the intersection of Trumbull and Cherry. In the early days of the game, when the ball was less lively and the ballparks generally had very large outfields, most home runs were of the inside-the-park variety. The first home run ever hit in the National League was by Ross Barnes of the Chicago White Stockings , in 1876.
On July 25, 1956, Roberto Clemente became the only MLB player to have ever scored a walk-off inside-the-park grand slam in a 9–8 Pittsburgh Pirates win over the Chicago Cubs, at Forbes Field. In a game on May 31, 1999, involving the St. Louis Cardinals and Florida Marlins, a hit by Cliff Floyd of the Marlins was initially ruled a double, then a home run, then was changed back to a double when umpire Frank Pulli decided to review video of the play. The Marlins protested that video replay was not allowed, but while the National League office agreed that replay was not to be used in future games, it declined the protest on the grounds it was a judgment call, and the play stood.

His dad, Mutt, died at 39 from it, as did his dad's dad and his dad's two brothers -- they were likely more prone because they worked in lead and zinc mines in Oklahoma. One of Mantle's sons, Billy, also had the disease and died young. Well after his retirement, doctors told Mantle his liver was giving out and that his next drink could be his last. In 1994, he checked into the Betty Ford Center for rehab to treat his alcoholism. He discovered he used alcohol as a crutch following his father's death in 1952, just after his 19-year-old rookie season.
Just look at the game's founding father, Babe Ruth, who considered beer and hot dogs a well-balanced meal. Other notable single season records were achieved by Babe Ruth who hit 60 in 1927, Roger Maris, with 61 home runs in 1961, Aaron Judge, with 62 home runs in 2022, and Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire, who hit 66 and 70 respectively, in 1998.

The couple crashed into a telephone pole and she banged her head against the windshield.
