Mark McGwire homers twice to break Hack Wilson’s National League single season home run record of 56

Cardinal slugger Mark McGwire, in a 7-1 victory over Florida, homers twice to break Hack Wilson’s National League single season home run record of 56. Big Mac’s seventh inning shot ties the 1930 mark set by the Hall of Fame Cubs’ outfielder, and he establishes a new record in the ninth, hitting a Don Pall pitch 472 feet over the center field wall at Miami’s Pro Player Stadium.
