See where hitting two pairs of homers in an inning will get you, kids?

September 24, 1985: In the fifth inning of a slugfest against the Cubs, Expos outfielder Andre Dawson cracked two homers. The homers were part of a 12-run inning for the Expos, who would go on to win, 17-15. Dawson, who actually hit a homer in the first inning for three on the day (and collected an MLB record six RBI in one inning), became only the second player in the Bigs to homer twice in one inning on two separate occasions.

Dawson had previously knocked in a pair of homers for the Expos in the third inning of a 19-0 win over the Braves on July 30, 1978. Prior to Dawson, only Willie McCovey of the San Francisco Giants had ever hit a pair of homers in an inning twice - McCovey did it first in a 9-3 win over the Astros on April 12, 1973, then again on June 27, 1977 in a 14-9 win over the Reds.

Since Dawson (and McCovey), only two other players in the Majors have equaled the feat - Jeff King of the Pirates, who hit two in a 9-5 win over the Giants on Aug. 8, 1995 and in a 10-7 win over the Reds on April 30, 1996 - and Alex Rodriguez, who hit two in a 10-2 win over the Mariners on Sept. 5, 2007 and in a 10-2 win over the Rays on Oct. 4, 2009.
