Most HRs in 1 game? I just had a game for the ages...

[Matter2003]

I have never seen a game where my team hit this many home runs...

I finished with a total of 8, to go along with 4 in the first inning as I took a 7-0 lead...finished with a 15-7 victory.

What are the most HRs you have had in a game for or against?

[Raidergoo]

I approve.

[Assos]

Very nice, even this coming from an old time 1-0 guy.
I think the most I have seen in a playeds out game was 7 a couple of times. I had a hot Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig playing against me.

On a similar note, has anyone seen how hard it is to hit 4 HR in a game? I've simmed decades with not a single person accomplishing the feat, even over all the minor leagues as well.

Anyone else seen this?

Yes, I have.

I speculate that it is the AI.

[TwoThirtyTwo]

There's been 13 four homer games since 1900 in MLB. It's luck. You may see it happen 3 times in one season or not for 3 decades straight. I haven't seen an issue with it.

Good research!
I would imagine the computer as that built in.

Never had four homers in a game in any of my leagues. I have been playing since OOTP3.

I wasn't personally referring to live. I imagine that would be really hard to see. But it seems to happen much less than the rate of 13 times / 135 years.

In my OOTP 6 league, 4 HR in a game has happened 3 times in 17 years (2004-2021). I had 2 different guys do it on my team in 2010 and 2017, and another guy did it in 2016. Since I play out every game in that league, I guess I've seen it twice.

[Afino]

I've never had a player on my team hit THREE, let alone four.

in OOTP 6.5, i got bored so i edited a guy on my team to have rediculous power, he hit like 90 HRs and had i believe 3 games with 3 homers, but none with 4

Me neither. I cant think offhand of a single time my team has hit 4 as a team.

[Linenoise]

I've had fictional leagues that have had guys hit 4 HRs in a game. It doesn't happen often but it is always one of the things I look for when I am browsing over my fictional leagues that have been simmed for multiple decades. I am waiting for the day I find a guy that managed to hit 5 HRs in a game. I haven't seen it yet, but if enough of us sim for enough years, the numbers will eventually force the elusive 5 HR game.

I also check for most Ks in a game. The most I have seen was 24. I get a big kick out of discovering performances of mythical proportions. It's sometimes as much fun to scour over fictional league histories as it is to actually manage a team.

What's the longest hitting streak you guys have seen?

I am about 80 games into my first OOTPX season...

I have one batter in my league (Dan Uggla) who hit 4 HR's vs. the Rockies.

I've only played about 80 games in my first season of OOTPX, so mine will not be "great"...but the longest streak in my season so far is 24. (D. Wright I think)

Most K's in a game (so far) was Lincecum @ 17.

[Afino]

I know in past versions, if you were playing out your games, if you had a player with at least 2 HR, every AB afterwards would seem to be one of those unintentional IBB's - where the batter doesn't get a pitch to hit. It makes sense, but it was frustrating.

I had a player go 42 games. Another time, another player went 30 games, had an 0-fer, then started another one for 31.

With my own team playing out my games? 36. That was in my first season of OOTPX, too!
