04/23: The Four Home Run Connection
Posted by: Patrick
Peter Abraham points out a couple of interesting tie ins to Chase Wright's four consecutive home runs allowed.
Wright was only the second pitcher to ever allow such a thing. The other was Paul Foytack, an Angels pitcher. On the day he did it, one of the home runs was hit by Tito Francona, Terry's father. And the first team to hit four consecutive home runs was the Braves in 1961. The person who broke the home run streak? Joe Torre.
