Box Score of the Week

Recently Josh Hamilton hit four home runs in one game for the Texas Rangers. With that in mind, let's take a look at a game from 1993 where the St. Louis Cardinals' Mark Whiten went deep four times against the Cincinnati Reds.

----------------------------------------

When Josh Hamilton hit four home runs a week-and-a-half ago, it seemed to be a statistical anomaly when the same teammate (in this case, Elvis Andrus) was on base all four times. However, the same thing happened in September 1993 when the Cards' Mark Whiten went deep four times ---- teammate Gerald Perry scored in front each occasion.
