Von Hayes becomes the first player to hit two home runs in the first inning

Von Hayes Philadelphia Phillies

On June 11, 1985 Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Von Hayes becomes the first major-league player ever to hit two home runs in the first inning, as Philadelphia blasts the Mets, 26 – 7. Hayes leads off with a home run‚ off Tom Gorman‚ and capping a 9-run outburst with a grand slam. Mets relievers Joe Sambito (3 innings) and Calvin Schiraldi (1.1 innings) both give up 10 runs apiece. The 26 runs in one game is a club record and the most in the National League since 1944.
