1985 – Expos OF Andre Dawson slugs three home runs, including a pair of three-run shots in a 12-run 5th inning, to lead Montreal to a wild 17 – 15 win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Dawson joins Willie McCovey as the only players to hit two home runs in one inning on two different occasions, and his six RBIs in one inning ties the major-league record last accomplished by Jim Ray Hart in 1970. The Expo outfielder also went yard twice in the same frame on July 30, 1978.

At Fenway Park‚ Bosox catcher Sammy White clouts a 9th-inning grand slam with one out to defeat the Browns’ Satchel Paige‚ 11 – 9. Paige (5-2) takes a 9 – 5 lead into the 9th. White completes his home run trot by rounding third base and crawling from half way home and kissing the plate. Another rookie provides entertainment to start the inning as Jimmy Piersall‚ leading off‚ announces to Paige that he is going to bunt. He does just that and beats Paige to first base‚ whereupon he starts mirroring Satchel’s moves and yelling “oink‚ oink‚ oink.” Hoot Evers beats out an infield hit and Piersall continues his antics at second. A now distracted and annoyed Paige walks George Kell‚ and one out later‚ forces in a run by walking Billy Goodman. A single by Ted Lepcio sets up White’s slam. After the game‚ Browns C Clint Courtney opines‚ “I believe that man is plumb crazy. Yeah‚ he’s nuts altogether. I never saw a man do those things. Anywhere.”
