Unbelievable Power Surge: The Day MLB Exploded with Record-Breaking Home Runs
T-1. 3 –George Brett, Kansas City Royals (1978 ALCS Game 3 vs. New York Yankees)
T-1. 3 –Reggie Jackson, New York Yankees (1977 World Series Game 6 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers)
In one of the most famous World Series games in MLB history, Jackson’s nickname, “Mr. October,” emerged. In the fourth inning, the outfielder hit a two-run dinger. He then followed up with another in the fifth and a solo shot in the eighth. The energy at Yankee Stadium was electric, with fans stunned by the fact that he hit the trio of homers on the first pitch of each at-bat. Jackson became the first player in nearly 50 years to have three knocks in a World Series game. More importantly, he helped the Yankees take home a title – a feat they would repeat the next year.
