Uncover the Untouchable Records: MLB’s Most Hits in a Game, Season, and Career Revealed!
But four games? Five days? Cleveland’s Johnny Burnett only needed one to record his modern-day, big league-record nine hits, though it came over 11 at-bats and 18 innings in a wild 18-17 loss to the Philadelphia Athletics on July 10, 1932.
Burnett, a shortstop who hit .284 with 521 career hits over nine seasons, became the first player to have at least seven hits in a game that day.
Since then, Rocky Colavito and Cesar Gutierrez of the Detroit Tigers, Rennie Stennett of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Brandon Crawford of the San Francisco Giants have all joined the club.
