1994 – In Detroit, the Twins’ Chuck Knoblauch leads off the game with a homer off Mike Moore, then adds a second long ball in the 7th. Not to be outdone, the Tigers’ lead-off hitter, Tony Phillips goes deep against Scott Erickson in his first at-bat, and also add a second homer, in the 8th inning. It is the first time in major league history this has happened, and the feat won’t be repeated until August 13, 2013, when Brad Miller and Ben Zobrist are the two protagonists. Detroit wins the game, 5 – 3.
