Players with two home runs in an inning
This browser does not support the video element.
Connecting for a homer is a difficult enough feat in baseball. Getting the chance at a second at-bat in an inning, and then going yard again is a truly remarkable -- and historic -- achievement.
Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker is the most recent of the 60 different players who have done it, but there's an even more exclusive club -- players to do it twice. Edwin Encarnación, Alex Rodriguez, Jeff King, Andre Dawson and Willie McCovey form the multiple two-homer innings club.
Here is a list of every player to accomplish the feat, including Fernando Tatis, who collected eight RBIs on two swings in the third inning for the Cardinals on April 23, 1999, to become the only player in Major League history with two grand slams in one inning:
