Whew… That’s a mouthful! The Chicago White Sox hit four consecutive home runs off two Kansas City Royals pitchers in the sixth inning of Thursday’s game.
Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez and Juan Uribe completed the rare feat for the White Sox. Thome, Konerko and Ramirez all homered off KC hurler Joel Peralta, before he was yanked in favor of Robinson Tejeda, who surrendered the final blast to Uribe.
The video shows the impressive accomplishment, but you have to wonder what was going through the head of Peralta, who gave up three of the bombs. After the first home run, he probably didn’t think much of it, but it had to be on his mind after the second dinger. It is most certainly, the third tater that he won’t be forgetting for the next few days.
If Peralta’s MLB career is ever cut short, I’m sure the White Sox would love to have him as a batting practice pitcher for their organization. Check out the video below to see all of the long balls.
