There is a Major Leaguer that went 5 for 5 official times AB.

And, he is a well-known ballplayer.

Well someone obviously walked in between. Trick question, or one that requires careful parsing anyhow. I'll guess. Mike Schmidt.

I remembered this...Mike Cameron tied a major league record when he hit four home runs in one game becoming only the 15th player in MLB history to do this. In his fifth at bat, he hit one to the warning track, just missing what would have been a record setting fifth home run. I was Living in San Diego and Cameron was oN the Padres the Year before He Done His Deed!

So, I Believe that Cameron was the last to hit 4 in a one game!
I also think that Ted's Question has a bit of a twist to it... maybe 2 in one game and 3 in the next?

However, I've never heard of anyone to Hit 5 HR's iN 5 AB's... Interesting!!!

grasshopper humbly awaits your answer...

How about Jackie Jensen---he hit 5 in a row on Home Run Derby---!!!

[tedzan]

Home Run Derby's don't count.

The 5 consecutive HR's were part of a big event that occurred in our lifetime.

Reggie Jax? 4 straight in the WS, and one to lead off 1978?

I remember in 2012 Josh Hamilton hit 4 against the Orioles and then 2 against the Angels the next game he played. Can't remember if he hit the homerun against the Angels his first ab though.
