Ramirez Joins The Immortals... and Larry Parrish

Interesting stuff courtesy of Chris Jaffe at The Hardball Times:

By hitting three home runs in the Cubs' 14-7 win over Houston on Tuesday, Aramis Ramirez became the 16th player in major league history with four three-homer career games (four-homer and postseason games included).

The others are Sammy Sosa and Johnny Mize with six; Carlos Delgado, Mark McGwire, Joe Carter, and Dave Kingman with five; and Ernie Banks, Albert Pujols, Steve Finley, Barry Bonds, Larry Parrish, Willie Stargell, Ralph Kiner, Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig with four.
