Bobbb, the BC question hint was a guy who hit 44 homers in his career. May hit 77.

I guessed Kent because he was the kind of guy who would show somebody up and not care. Kent, Bonds and John Tudor are the Three Musketeers of rudeness in baseball. Clemens is D'Artagnan.

Some guys you might know who hit a homer off a 3-0 count in the seventh inning or later with a six run lead or more:

Jay Buhner (7 run lead in the 7th in 1996)
Mitch Garver (6 run lead in the 7th this year)
Hideki Matsui (6 run lead in the 7th in 2005)
Tony Batista (6 run lead in the 7th in 2003)
Denis Menke (6 run lead in the 7th in 1963)
Goody Rosen (8 run lead in the eighth in 1946)
Christian Yelich (6 run lead in the ninth this year)
Fernando Tatis Jr. (7 run lead in the eighth last year)
Juan González (7 run lead in the eighth in 2000)
Robin Ventura (8 run lead in the ninth in 1993)
Jim Greengrass (11 run lead in the eighth in 1954)
Yermin Mercedes (11 run lead in the ninth this year)

And our winner, who hit a home run on a 3-0 count in the top of the ninth with a 12 run lead on May 20, 2000.

Today, a college player hit 7(!) home runs in a double header (the last of which was a grand slam).  Who hold (there are two) the record for most home runs in a doubleheader in the major leagues?  What was their connection?

BC

the other was Stan Musial

and post 704 links him to Colbert

Nate Colbert grew up in St. Luis and was a big Cardinals fan.  As a kid, he went to the doubleheader where Musial hit his five home runs.

In 1991's Babe Ruth, the part of Ty Cobb was played by Pete Rose.  This movie was a year before "The Babe" in which John Goodman played Ruth.
