With 'day' instead of 'game', any searches could reflect that the 6 hits, the 4 runs and the 2 homers could all be spread out over a double-header...or, for that matter, a double-header following the completion of a suspended game or a mixture of all.

We have a WINNER ! The "Trivia King" is Bill King naming Frank Delehanty. In the title I alluded to.... "a magic day in Aug", which was the key to the answer. August 31st appears to be a great day for hitting Home Runs in New York City. Delahanty had a great day in New York on Aug 31st 1906 playing for the Highlanders. Read all about it.... https://www.beabetterhitter.com/hist...ank-delahanty/ . . . ![]() ![]() ![]() TED Z T206 Reference . |

That was a great question! Never would've guessed..... and those were the only 2 homers Frank hit that year (he only had 5 in his major league career.)

Thanks for such a fun trivia question, Ted. This sent me down all sorts of incorrect paths - Heinie Wagner once hit two home runs in a game in August; did "magic August day" mean a no-hitter or something like that; was this a minor league game? The extra clues of the not-unknown name and the six inning doubleheader gave me just enough information to eventually find it, after spending a frankly embarrassing (and quite enjoyable) amount of time perusing old box scores. Thanks for the fun!

...and another detail I missed: I thought the date was specifically the date of the thread - August 18 - but 'this' was in reference to the T206 guy, not the date.
Ted- I will more closely follow the details in the future. It was fun and enlightening, if frustrating. Thanks .
