Willie Mays, a legendary star in major-league baseball who died Tuesday at age 93, once did something only 18 men have done in MLB history: Hit four homers in one game. He did it at Milwaukee County Stadium.
He hit another home run at the same venue, by then the home of the Milwaukee Brewers, in 1975, two years after he retired. That was in the Old Timers Game, when a 44-year-old Mays went deep as part of the festivities in Milwaukee.
Mays was just a few days shy of his 30th birthday April 30, 1961, and he hadn't started the season on fire with just two homers and six RBI in the season's first 15 games for the San Francisco Giants.
