Question
Which player has hit the most home runs in a single game.  MLB baseball?

Answer
Llana,

The answer is four home runs, and fifteen players in major league baseball, 13 since 1900, have done this. It's a very rare feat, but it's happened three times in this century:

Mike Cameron, Seattle, May 2, 2002
Shawn Green, Los Angeles Dodgers, May 23, 2002
Carlos Delgado, Toronto, September 25, 2003

The last player to do it before that was Mark Whitten of the the St. Louis Cardinals in 1993.
