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?

Fred Lynns game in Detroit in 75 should at least get a mention.

5/6
3 hr
1 triple
1 single
10 rbi

16 total bases tying the AL record at the time.
The triple was close to being a 4th hr.

Nick Kurtz also hit a double that came within 10-15 feet of being a home run. Note the red circle where the ball was hit.

Unfortunately, he is only getting a rookie salary and will likely be gone when eligible for free agency.

Fellow hot hitting rookie teammate Jacob Wilson has a fractured left forearm.

Similar to Josh Hamilton's 4 hr game at Camden. He hit one maybe 10 ft away from being a homer that hit the track.

Wow, that's crazy that he was that close to 5 Home Runs!

Not to denigrate the 6 for 6 or four homer game, the total bases etc, impressive stuff to be sure, but I always thought Tony Cloninger going 3/5 while hitting two grand slams and 9 RBIs doesn't get it's due.

AND PITCHED A COMPLETE GAME against a Giants lineup that included Willie Mays and Willie McCovey...

...at Candlestick Park...

One of the 'corners' of my collection is Certified Autographed Cards of the players who achieve one of the 'single game feats' ( 4 HRs, Perfect Game, Unassisted Triple Play), so I had to grab a high-priced one ( RC was already too high to consider)- a lot higher than Suarez's earlier this year.


FYI- such cards of UTP achievers are much harder to find...of course they have to produce them...
