  • The only one I have found so far is during his streak in 1941, when he hit 3 homers and a double against the St Louis Browns in one half of a double-header on June 8th... I don't know who won the game though. I will keep looking.

    edit - I found a reference to him being the first player ever to hit 3 homers in a game at Griffith Stadium, Washington on Sept 10th 1950 - the Yankees beat the Senators 8-1 in that game.

    edit - I have now found this list - http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FCI/is_12_61/ai_93448073 which claims to name everyone who has ever hit 3 homers in a game up till 2002. It doesn't list either of the cases I mentioned above though, so I am unsure of its completeness. According to it, Joe Di Maggio hit 3 homers in a game on June 13 1937, May 23 1948 and Sept 10, 1951, but gives no details of where or against who those happened.

    Sorry but I think that barring divine inspiration this is the best I can come up with.
