Jeff Bagwell re-writes the Astros record book with his 38th home run, 112th RBI and 69th extra base hit

On August 5 , 1994 — At the Astrodome, Jeff Bagwell re-writes the Astros record book with his 5th inning, 2 run, 2 out homerun his 38th home run, 112th RBI and 69th extra base hit in a 12-4 thumping of the Giants off Pat Gomez.

Jeff has five RBIs to lead the attack, breaks the record of 110 RBIs set by Bob Watson in 1977 with the round-tripper, surpasses the mark established 27 years ago by Jimmy Wynn. Bagwell’s .370 average also threatens Rusty Staub’s club record. A broken hand and a players strike would soon cut short the best season any Astro has ever had.
