[edit] Biographical Information
Bobby Lowe was the first man to hit four home runs in a game, against Elton Chamberlain on May 30, 1894. Two years later, Ed Delahanty became the second, against Adonis Terry. Although 13 other players have since hit four home runs in a game, Lowe and Delahanty are still the only players to hit four against one pitcher.
