Best single game hitting performance in MLB history
 

Last night, A's rookie Nick Kurtz went 6 for 6 with 4 HRs, a double and 8 RBI.

Has there been a better offensive game by a player in the history of the game?

That kids putting up some crazy numbers so far, especially for a Rookie. :eek:

I’m not gonna say there’s definitely been a better game .
Mark Whiten Went four for five with four home runs and 12 RBIs.
Ohtani Once went 6 for 6 , 3 home runs, two doubles, Two stolen bases and 10 rbis .
Jim Bottomley went 6 for 6 ,2 home runs, a double, 12 rbis
Edit : Whiten 4 runs
Ohtani 4 runs
Bottomley 3 runs

By a Rookie. Best game ever.

"Nick is the first rookie in the league’s 150-year history to hit four home runs in a game and the 20th man in major-league history to accomplish the feat. Among the other 19: Hall of Famers Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays and Mike Schmidt"

a good day
 

Back in the early 1950s Joe Adcock went 5 for 5 with 4 Home Runs and a double. Not bad...... and of course when Gehrig had his 4 HR day his last time up he flew out to the warning track. a few more feet and he would have had the only 5 in one day!!! And last but not least.......... in 1903 in the Texas League 'Nig" Clarke went 8 for 10 with 8 home runs! Apparently a very very short right field fence that day..... but still......

His "best" cards are probably already selling for 1K and up if not much more.

So Kurtz tied Shawn Green's record of 19 total bases in a single game (Green also hit 4 HRs, 2 Doubles and a single).

But Kurtz had 8 RBIs to Green's 7 and he's of course a Rookie.

So yeah, maybe the best single offensive game ever.

Sure glad I stocked up on all those Shawn Green rookie cards. Do you think it's time to make the move and sell my stake?
