For nearly 7 decades, Bottomly held the record alone. That was one of my go-to baseball stars when I was a kid.
Then, Mark Whitten matched it in the 90s. He was the second guy ever to have 12 RBI & he had 4 homeruns on that game.
Bottomly had only 2 home runs.
Yeah, I was a stat geek when I was a kid!
