Chandler Redmond Hits For Home Run Cycle

Cardinals minor leaguer hit 4 home runs in one game.
A solo shot, 2 run homer, 3 run homer, and a grand slam. In 4 Innings! A type of hitting for the cycle.
He also had an RBI single, so he had 5 hits, 4 HR, and 11 RBI!

It’s never been done at the MLB level and only once before in the minors.

but never this incredible version of the "cycle," though nothing that judge does this season would surprise me.

i've bever seen 4 hr in a game at any level,

i took a quick look at the wikipedia ..........

Eighteen players have hit four home runs in a single Major League Baseball (MLB) game, which writers of Sporting News described as "baseball's greatest single-game accomplishment".[1] The most recent to accomplish the feat to date is J. D. Martinez with the Arizona Diamondbacks against the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 4, 2017. No player has done this more than once in his career and no player has ever hit more than four in a game. No player has ever hit four home runs in a postseason game; that record is three, first accomplished by Babe Ruth in Game 4 of the 1926 World Series.[2]

...had 4 homers a double, and a single.
He went 6 for 6 and hold the MLB record of 19 total bases in a game.
Joe Adcock (IIRC)) held the record with 18 for nearly 50 years.
I don't know why I remember that.

I heard that on ESPN later.
Never in the majors, and once in the minors 24 years ago.
