Art Shamsky hits 3 homeruns in game after entering in 8th

On August 12, 1966, At Crosley Field‚ long-ball lovers enjoy 11 home runs in one game‚ tying the most in any contest and setting a major league record for an extra-inning contest. Art Shamsky hits 3 consecutive dingers for Cincinnati‚ including two in extra innings. But Pittsburgh prevails, 13 – 11‚ scoring 3 in the 13th inning. Shamsky does not enter the game until the 8th‚ when he hits a 2-run homer to put the Reds up, 8 – 7. His solo homer in the 10th ties the score at 9 – 9‚ as does his 2-run homer in the 11th. Shamsky’s pair of extra-inning homers is a first in the National League‚ and just the third time ever in the Majors. Also going deep are Pete Rose‚ Deron Johnson‚ Bob Bailey (twice)‚ Roberto Clemente‚ Jesse Gonder‚ and Jerry Lynch. For Lynch‚ it is his 18th pinch-hit homer‚ a major league record.
