Jimmie Foxx homers in 4 straight at bats over 2 games
On June 8, 1933, At Shibe Park Jimmie Foxx of the Philadelphia A’s hits three home runs in a 14-10 win over the New York Yankees. His home runs come in his first three at-bats, Foxx had homered his last time up the previous day to give him four consecutive home runs.
In todays game Foxx hit all three homeruns off Lefty Gomez, in the 2nd inning, with no one on 4th inning with no one on and 5th inning with 2 on. He went 3-4 with 5 RBI’s. The day before Foxx homered in the 8th inning, a 3 run shot off General Crowde to tie the game at 10.
