Paris Parasites left fielder Clyde Bateman becomes the second player in Texas League history to hit four home runs in a game
On May 13, 1903 — In a 13-7 rout of the Corsicana Oil Cities, Paris Parasites left fielder Clyde Bateman becomes the second player in Texas League history to hit four home runs in a game, a feat accomplished last season by Oil Cities catcher Jay J. Clarke. In less than two months, the 26 year-old slugger, who will lead the circuit in hitting and homers, makes history again when he throws a no-hitter for the Steers (the franchise’s new name after moving to Waco on June 26) against the Fort Worth Panthers. (Ed. note- Clyde Bateman is also known as Quait Bateman – LP)
