That was the hard one... Lonnie Smith was a little difficult too, but he had that amazing run from 80-91...If he hadn't gotten faked out by the Twins, he mighta had 4 and been all by himself...

"The scoreboard stumper" always pays off for me. In baseball history there had to have been a former Red that done it or it wouldn't have been a question during a Cincy broadcast. But I specifically remember Jay as Marty broke into a story about Johnstone getting fined for swinging on a take sign...he hit a HR. That might have been when he was a Cub?
