In one game that season, he hit two slammers in CONSECUTIVE TIMES AT BAT. I believe he is the only one to have performed that feat. Someone will certainly correct me if I'm wrong :-) GO GET 'EM TIGERS! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Dennehy AT&T BL Whippany, NJ {clyde!whuxb}!tgd
