He called it a 10 cent infield with the artificial turf infield and grass outfield prior to that game. Because the scoreboard flashed fireworks when an Astro player hit a HR, he had said he would set off fireworks in the dugout if his team did it in this game, which was illegal, so the park assigned a special duty policeman to watch the dugout. Durocher denied tossing the phone when questioned by the umpire. The scoreboard operator taunted him at least 3 times in that game.

I checked Ojeda due to my surprise that he had achieved the 4 feat. i don't see that he ever did. Minors perhaps?

Thanks. I tried but I couldn't find it. I knew a few that hit 4 homeruns (one of them, former Padres backup catcher, Miguel Ojeda, among others).
