Mize, nicknamed the "Big Cat", had 3-HR games with three different teams during his Hall of Fame career: the Cardinals, the Giants and the Yankees between 1938 and 1950.

2. In 2001, this Cub became the first player to hit three home runs in a game three times during a single season.

"Slammin' Sammy" had a great season in 2001 as he amazed baseball fans with his slugging prowess.

4. In 1884, I became the first player to belt three HRs in a game. Who am I?

Answer: Ned Williamson

Some baseball historians scoff at Williamson's home run feats because he played at Chicago's Lakeshore Park, a stadium which featured "Little League" dimensions.

5. In 1922, who became the first American League player to belt three home runs in a single game?

Answer: Ken Williams

Williams accomplished the "hat trick" in 1922. He was a star outfielder for the St. Louis Browns.

6. Which Pirate player clubbed three home runs in a 1971 playoff game?

Answer: Bob Robertson

Robertson was a power-hitting first baseman for Pittsburgh who had 115 HRs during his career. Unfortunately, knee problems cut short his productivity.

7. Who was the first member of the New York Mets to homer three times in a single game in 1965?

Answer: Jim Hickman

Hickman had a couple of good seasons for some woeful Mets teams. He is probably best remembered for hitting the single which drove home Pete Rose in the 1970 All-Star game.

8. Which Dodger pitcher surrendered Reggie Jackson's third home run in game six of the 1977 World Series?

Answer: Charlie Hough

Hough's knuckleball obviously didn't "dance", for Jackson belted the first pitch into the deep centerfield bleachers. Three home runs on just three pitches for Jackson of Oakland.

9. Which of these Hall Of Fame catchers did not have a 3-HR game during his career?

Answer: Carlton Fisk

Fisk and Yogi Berra are probably the two best catchers never to hit three HRs in a game.

10. In 1935, Babe Ruth had his final 3-HR game as a member of which team?

Answer: Boston Braves

Ruth was a member of the Braves when he smacked three home runs against the Pittsburgh Pirates. They would be the last of the Bambino's 714 career home runs.
