Posted by Andy on April 9, 2009
Here are the guys to have the most games with a homer in his team's first 10 games:
Year Games Link to Individual Games +-----------------+----+-----+-------------------------+ Luis Gonzalez 2001 7 Ind. Games Larry Walker 2001 6 Ind. Games Jim Thome 2006 6 Ind. Games Mike Schmidt 1976 6 Ind. Games Alex Rodriguez 2007 6 Ind. Games Jim Presley 1985 6 Ind. Games Dale Murphy 1985 6 Ind. Games
Schmidt's performance over those 10 games was particularly impressive as it included his 4-HR game at Wrigley Field. His line over those 10 games was 49 PAs, 44 ABs, 13 his, 9 HR, 17 RBI, 1.276 OPS.
See here for how I got these totals for Schmidt.

Mike Schmidt was even more impressive since he had 13 hits total and 9 of them were for HRs (with no other extra-base hits involved)
Only one game was a multi-hit game as well!
