Who holds the Major League Baseball record for extra base hits in one game?
In the whole history of MLB, only 8 players have hit "5" extra-base hits in one game!
Just getting 5 hits in a game is incredible to achieve, but, when all 'singles' are removed, the feat becomes unbelievably historic!
The ones that I know are: Joe Adcock, Lou Boudreau, Wilver Stargell, Steve Garvey, Shawn Green, and the last was Kelly Koppach in 2008. The other two are players from before 1900 and I do not know their names. Sorry, I don't know them, but, maybe you can contact the MLB Archives and discover the names of those two players.
Thanks for reading -

Why are seated areas in sports stadiums called stands?
Originally all the areas where standing room only. There were no seated areas. Then as some clubs added a seated section normally used for VIPs, the rank and file were still placed in the standing areas as these were least expensive. Then following incidents where crowd volumes became high and there were significant "crush" injuries to those standing against the pitch-side wall and barrier-work randomly placed around the stand area laws were passed that forced clubs to replaces standing areas with seating. This was to stop overfill and those at the rear of the stand pushing forward on to those closer to the pitch.
