Being it was the Razorbacks, I wouldn't be surprised if they lost the game.....

I seem to remember a college baseball player pulling this off about 15 years ago or so.

I was watching this game on ESPN. It's probably the best chance anyone's ever had to hit for the homerun cycle in MLB...

Scroll down to the play by play and pay particular attention to Tino Martinez's at bats. I'd wager a lot of money nobody other than him ever had THREE chances to complete a homerun cycle in a game before...

I watched the last part of that game! I’d hoped I’d finally get to see an MLB player hit his fourth homer of the game. I remember thinking how cool it was that the Yankees got him a second ninth-inning at bat. But I don’t think I knew that he had a chance for a home run cycle. —Bob

After I posted that, it occurred to me that Martinez is probably the only player in history to have FOUR chances at hitting a fourth homer in a single game. That's just crazy...
