Thank you for posting this. When Reggie did that, I thought it was one of the most incredible exploits of hitting dominance ever, but the media never picked up on it. All you ever read about was his 3 HRs in a WS game, never 4 in 4 swings.
Over the years, with the lack of public confirmation and appreciation for this feat, I began to wonder if I was living in an alternative world where it never happened. Thanks for making me sane again!
