He posts here as pabaseballdad. His son who plays high school ball in Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh had quite the day in Myrtle Beach the other day. I've never heard of this type of achievement before from a high school player. I saw Willie Stargell do it one time in the pros. Perhaps PGStaff is aware of someone doing it. The young man is still a junior and committed to Coastal Carolina. Huge congrats to the young man and his family.

Congrats pabaseballdadson and family!
Congrats. That is almost as legendary as like Al Bundy
For sure 4 HRs in a game at any level is an amazing feat and that kid should be congratulated. Having said that, the records for HS seem almost unworldly. Take a look at http://www.nfhs.org/RecordBook....aspx?CategoryId=246
Seems like they should record stats with and without bbcor standard. Most of those records won't be possible to be matched today.
Quite an accomplishment @ any level. Congrats to Tor (and family) on his day at the field + to the commitment to Coastal Carolina. What a great school and program!

Yes, it does seem unfair, but even MLB doesn’t segregate the different eras. The dead ball era, the PED era aren’t any different in the record books. They don’t even differentiate between the 154 and 162 game schedules.
Alex Jackson hit, I believe, 47 career home runs -- pretty remarkable for the BBCOR era.
Here is the #1 guy in HS career HRs with 75. He then went to Southern Cal and was an All American there before becoming the third player picked in the 1st round of the draft. He did play in the Big Leagues, but his career was cut short by injury.
Congrats to pabaseballdadson and son, that's a very nice day at the field..
Looking at the record book is eye opening.. its amazing some of those #'s
k's in a season....366, career..... 842. One pitcher had 37 K's in an 17 inning game , wow
Jeff Clement not only had the most HR's with 75 but he had the most walks....214 , anything near the plate he must have crushed!
players at my sons HS were lucky to get 60 - 80 AB's in a season, I think in PA they are limited to 21-22- games plus playoffs? Weather usually cancels out a handful of games.
Wow! If he were never to play another game, he'd have a story to tell all the way to the grave!
4 HR's in one day is quite a feat. A few years ago I thought it was amazing that my son's HS team had a game where as a team they hit 4 HR's in one game (son had a grand slam). They were as I recall 8 HR's total in the game. The other team had 4 HR's as well. Quite a slugfest.

Thanks everyone, we are proud of him of course- just needs to keep things going.
our HS season is short- 20 games. Lucky to get 55-60 at bats. Barely any time to work out of a slump if that happens!

Unfortunately, the GREAT 'Pops' Stargell never hit 4-Taters in a MLB game... Did he do it in a MiLB game?
didnt Josh Hamilton do it against the Orioles while with the Rangers just a few years ago? Congrats btw awesome day.
