Williams feat Of hitting three
home runs in one game on Saturday,

player made three home runs in one
game. On September 26, 1897, Jake
Beckley, now dead, accomplished
such a feat.
Only IL players In the history of
baseball have made three home runs
in one game.
In four games Williams has hit six
home runs. Babe Ruth is the only

ord, making 1t last eason
