Cub Hitting 3 Homers Off Of Brave
Posted by Chris J. on June 9, 2007
Yesterday Alfonso Soriano went deep three times against the Braves. How often has a Cub done that to the Braves since 1957?
Well, if you really must know, you can use the Batting Gamelog Finder. Set player's team to "Cubs," Opponent to "Braves," and Search by HR = 3. Turns out it's only happened twice in all that time. Only Ernie Banks and Soriano did it.
If you're curious, a Brave has hit 3 homers in a game off the Cubs twice as well. The sluggers who did it: Orlando Cepeda and, um, Jeff Blauser? Yea, that's right, Jeff Blauser.
