| 1964 | Posting a 7-3 victory, the Twins became only the third team in major league history to hit four consecutive home runs as Tony Oliva, Bob Allison, Jimmie Hall and Harmon Killebrew all go deep against A's pitchers Dan Pfister (3) and Vern Handrahan (1) in the top of the 11th inning at Kansas City's Municipal Stadium. The A’s went on to surrender 220 round-trippers, breaking the big league mark of 199 established by the team’s pitching staff the previous season. |
| 1992 | New York Yankees pitcher Scott Sanderson became the 12th pitcher in major league history to surrender four home runs in a single inning. Sanderson was rocked in the fifth inning of the game against the Minnesota Twins by Shane Mack, Kirby Puckett, Kent Hrbek, and Randy Bush. The Twins need all the homers as they won, 7-6. |
| 2001 | Over 40 fans were ejected and the game, which was delayed for 12 minutes when the umps needed to pull the Yankees off the field, came close to being forfeited by the Twins as unruly spectators at the Metrodome pummel Chuck Knoblauch with coins, plastic beer bottles and golf balls in left field. Twins manager Tom Kelly appealed to the crowd to be calm as the home team defeated their former second baseman and the Yankees, 4-2. |

I was at that game in 2001. Man I was getting pissed off at the fans. And if I recall, so was Bob Casey.
Don't forget the hotdogs!
Dollar Dog night + College Night = chaos
i was at that game too. good times. "this is a play-off game!" no it wasn't...
Also, it was "dress like the 1903 Senators" night for the Twins, so I remember TK came out to lecture the fans in the outfield is something that was tailored appropriately for the era. Very flowy.
I assume the 2009 Yankees will set a new Single-season HR record.
Really shouldn't have put the RF fence at 90 feet.
They could always just do what we did at the softball field in Cambria (I'm pretty sure that's where it was, anyway), where the LF fence was too short, so everything over the LF fence was a ground-rule double.
Perkins is looking a lot better now. I haven't been impressed with Bannister. The Twins need to hit him better than they have.
Oops, this was supposed to be in the game log.
