| Wednesday, July 25th, 1962: Boyer Pounds 3 HR!
What did Ken Boyer eat for breakfast prior to his game against Los Angeles?
Whatever it was, it provided some surprising power as the Baltimore third baseman smacked three balls up and out of the park at Memorial Stadium. His power surge sparked the Huns to a 8-6 victory over the Bums.
He told SION reporters, "When they throw it in your wheelhouse, you got a shot at a homer. I got three shots today and nailed them all."
On his 3-home run day he went 4 for 5, scored 3 times, drove in 6 and put his name in the league record book.
K. Boyer flied out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off L. Sherry in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off B. Smith in the 8th, walked in the 10th and hit a two-run home run off B. Muffett in the 12th.
So far this season Boyer has hit .293 with 14 home runs, 44 RBIs and and scored 49 times.
