What's that you say? You like dingers? Great news! Come with me as I look for the most consecutive home runs in league history.
Back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs (4 straight) is a rare occurrence in the American Baseball League, but it happens more frequently than in the real MLB. It's happened about 37 times, about once every 3-4 years.
Twice out of those 37 times, the batting team tacked on a couple more to extend the record. Sorry Denver, but when you did it it was less interesting.
On July 2nd, 2022, when the league was still young, the Seattle Marauders led off their game that day with 6-straight home runs. That is back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs! Say that 10-times fast, I nearly had an aneurysm writing it once. LA Stars pitcher Alex Castillo finished the inning, but would not return. The Marauders lead the Western Conference in home runs this year, and went on to win the championship, their first of four.
Also of note: Joel Zoll may be my favorite player name in this league.
By the way, some of you may notice my post title 'don' that I submitted prematurely. There is a story about a player from my league that I would like to share, but I don't think a wall of text will do it justice. Right now I am working on something that could convey this story much more appropriately.
