Chuck Klein becomes the oldest player to  hits 4 home runs in one game

 

 

On July 10, 1936 At Forbes Field, Chuck Klein hits 4 home runs in one game, including the tie-breaker in the 10th, helping the Phillies defeat the Pirates, 9 – 6. The Indianapolis, Indiana native barely misses hitting an additional homer in the 2nd when right fielder Paul Waner catches his drive against the wall. At 36, Klein is the oldest player ever to hit four homers in a game, and the first National Leaguer in the 20th century to do so.
