Williams Slugger Tops Ruth as Three Homer Game Feat
Kenneth Williams of the St. Louis Browns belted three home runs in a game on April 22, setting a modern record and driving his total to nine homers in seven days. Babe Ruth, watching from the stands, has no such weekly feat. Ruth’s best single-game effort remains two homers. Williams credits Ruth’s example and a shift from line drives to power hitting as key to his meteoric stretch in the 1882 season context, with teammates urging aggressive swings.
