AMAZING STAT: Whiten had 12 RBIs in this one game. In 1971, Padres SS Enzo Hernandez played 143 games with 549 At Bats and had 12 RBIs for the SEASON.

[@SeamHead33]

Baseball is the greatest game of all time

[@johnconnell4503]

Greatest comment ever

Just looked up his career and he is pretty awful with the bat. Unfortunately, he could not field like Ozzie Smith.

[@philip831511]

its cool that even though they aren't cardinals fans, they can still appreciate an unpredicedented moment in the game

[@CasiodorusRex]

+philip morris Josh Hamilton hit 4 HR against the Orioles and the O's fan treated him the same way. He didn't have 12 RBI's though

[@transitfan954]

One time Eddie Murray, who was still with the Orioles at the time, hit 3 HR (one a slam) and had 10 RBI against the Angels at Anaheim Stadium, and the Angels fans gave him a curtain call, which was cool. Of course Eddie was from Los Angeles, so he may have had a few friends/family in the stands.

[@zlinedavid]

Cincinnati baseball fans generally have a pretty good appreciation for baseball history.

[@rapalbumdepot7648]

Yeah man in case you didn't notice MLB fell off big time. It's run by imbeciles. Just remember that baseball is still the greatest game ever invented and always will be.

[@whatastud1000]

He had a cannon of an arm also, one of the best in the major leagues at the time. An absolute rocket throw from the outfield. He played for my team Toronto Blue Jays also.

[@AV57]

Yeah, I remember his arm even more than the home runs. Some of the throws he made down the right field line were just insane. I remember thinking that Whiten was almost like a way to get out of an inning, just by letting guys get singles to right field, because he’d just throw out anyone else on the base paths.

[@whatastud1000]

@@AV57 very few people remember his arm, they remember 4 HR in one game only

[@Iamacardinalfan]

I totally remember him for his arm. My Brother and I watched a game at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta back in the day. Ron Gant was on second. I can't remember who hit a single to right. But they waved Gant in. And I got out of my chair and yelled, "You're out Gant, won't even be close." Everybody around looked at me like I was an idiot. Gant was out by 10 feet. I just looked at everybody and said. I know he has a cannon for an arm, and now you do you too!

[@Wacky_Bud]

I remember watching a game live and he throw a ball from the warning track to homeplate without bouncing the ball just for fun. Insane arm strength.

[@Cardzfan1980]

I was a 13 yr old kid, in my room watching this double header, channel 11 KPLR!!After both games, mark whiten became my favorite cardinal. Hard hitting Mark Whiten

This was a double header and Whiten had an rbi in game one. It ties an all time record of 13 rbi in a twin bill.

[@motherloverjones6008]

I watched that game on TV, unbelievable...what a performance. The 4th HR was absolutely CRUSHED. exclamation point !

[@Ariamaluum]

Joe Buck has made incredible calls of other games like the World Series and Super Bowl. But I still think this one topps. It really put him on the map. Whitten was not a homer hitter and RBI type. But because he was big and strong, he was expected to do that. If he had kept a goal to have 200 hits, he would have been better off.

[@kingsojo]

Joe Buck was what 24 here? But he sounds decades older

[@BMeister22]

Will always remember this game because I had Mark Whiten on my fantasy team that year and had him on the bench this day. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

rob dibble

[@bugagentsmith]

Caesar Tiberius Rob Dibble said he set the 3-2 pitch on a silver platter for Whiten to see if he could get the 4th HR

[@TheFaithfulAtheist]

it was a 2-0 pitch. and from the quotes i could find, Dibble said that he was aware that it was a history AB and he wasnt going to walk him and take away the potential for the 4HR game, especially already being down 11 runs in the 9th. he came at him with heat and Whiten smoked it, end of story.

[@scottlewis8681]

The bat flips after HR #3 and #4 are the way flips should be done. One of the most incredible games I ever herd about. SRL

Just the right amount of swag. Not over the top, but just enough to be noticed.

[@gforce97]

Joe Buck at 1:51 cracked me up when he tried to do the Sportscenter theme sound lmao

[@FilipoSooaUlufale]

+Joe Kidd I have to wonder what type of baseball player Mark Whiten was from 1990 to 2000 spent with the Toronto Blue Jays, Cleveland Indians (1st stint), St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, Seattle Mariners, New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians (2nd stint), and also a stint in the minors with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2002. Whiten was signed on with the Atlanta Braves midway through the '96 season after being released from the Philadelphia Phillies because Atlanta lost David Justice for the season to undergo shoulder surgery to repair a dislocated shoulder after Justice only played 40 games. That was the absolute last time that Justice ever played for the Braves, and he would never play again for the Braves after 1996 as he was dealt to the Cleveland Indians for Kenny Lofton. Yet, Whiten was released after only 36 games by the Atlanta Braves despite the fact that Whiten was brought in to replace Justice. Whiten would spend the rest of '96 with the Mariners where he had 12 HRs and 33 RBIs in 40 games played for Seattle, which would have put Whiten on pace for an absolute blistering 48-49 HRs and 81-82 RBIs if he played a full slate of 162 games for Seattle for the whole 1996 season.

[@gregwilkinson5185]

One of the few bright moments for the Cardinals that year.

[@zymaymyn]

The Scooter Gennett 4 HR performance actually brought me here. Ironically, it was these same two teams in Cincy for that game as well.

[@Mastercraft091]

I watched Scooter 4-HR game tonight live and could not believe what I saw. I knew about this Whiten game, but didn't realize Scooter and Whiten were the only two with 4 HR that also included a Grand Slam!!!!!

[@Powerranger-le4up]

Only one other person has ever gotten 12 RBIs in one game and he also did it in a Cardinals uniform: Hall of Famer, Jim Bottomley.

[@JRFreedom1000]

I remember a while back at an Atlanta Braves game.. (Not for sure if he was playing for the Phillies or Braves at the time)Warming up before the game throwing "LAZORS" from deep right field to 3rd base!! Not looping throws but line drive throws. Amazing player and arm.

Mike G. Beatbox They can create them because they're MLB and they own the footage?

They archive all footage probaby back as far as the Babe Ruth era although film from that time is minimal. A better archival system came into play around the early 70s.

[@billny33]

@@DarkSideMaceWindu that 96 team should not have beaten the Braves. And that '98 team was great but were they 114 win great? I think Torre had something to do with that. Keeping the machine going again in 99 and in 2000, getting them back to game 7 of the WS in 01, beating the Red Sox in 03, never missing the playoffs in his entire 12 year run with the Yankees. Sure he made some mistakes, he blew the 3-0 lead to the Red Sox but the man has a stellar, hall-of-fame manager resume and is one of the all time great Yankee managers. If you want to say he didn't win titles anywhere else, fine. Neither did Bill Parcells and he's a legend too.

[@mikegulliver4885]

It's mind boggling because when he had his cup of coffee with the Red Sox, he looked totally lost at the plate. I saw a game live at Fenway where he looked like he'd picked up a bat for the first time the week before. But his cannon from right field was still intact - he threw a guy out with a laser beam from the corner, and it was very impressive.

[@haedyncavanagh]

Why was Dibble pitching in a blowout? Just getting work in?

[@bruce4303]

correct me if I am wrong - was this the second game of a doubleheader - and in the front end, did Whiten make an error to cost the Cardinals the game?

[@jayelbee1111]

Even the Cincinnati Reds fans had to bow down and cheer for Mark Whiten. Whiten sure knows how to pimp after he tosses the bat. I had to laugh when the sportscaster sang the "Sportscenter Theme Song."

[@DavidConstantin-d1d]

His 3 run HR should’ve been a grandslam, but Cincy made an error allowing Guilky to score from 3rd.

[@GemgarGames]

Mark Whiten, Cardenalero de corazon, leyenda de los Cardenales de Lara.

[@mattp422]

I’m surprised, after the 9th inning shot, the announcers’ comments seem almost nonchalant. They didn’t even note that Whiten had just tied two revered records: most HRs and most RBIs in a game (the latter set by Bottomley 69 years earlier!) Arguably the greatest offensive display in a game in the history of MLB and they make no mention of either record? Can you imagine if either Harry Carey or Harry Calas were in the booth that night?

[@andysee6996]

If there's a Hall of Fame for the greatest One Hit Wonders in sports history, Mark Whiten should be the centerpiece along with Jerome Harrison and Bob Beamon.

[@MasonsInquiries]

You guys remember when the Blue Jays/White Sox got into a brawl, and Mark Whiten SLUGGED Jack McDowell!!

[@RodneyLovings]

I was watching this game in disbelief! It didn’t seem like a real game, it was more like batting practice” it was the most incredible game I had even seen. I had seen him hitting home runs that season, but I couldn’t help but to think, why wasn’t he hitting more home runs? It was something about his swing that was flawed!! If he could have been more consistent, he would have been a great player. It was those holes in his swing, and pitchers exposed it after that game, it was the off speed pitches that got him out. I can recall saying, he needs to lean to go opposite field more! But if you threw him a fastball middle in, just turn your head to see how far it will go!! lol 😂

Insane accomplishment on its own, but it almost was the first of its kind. Whiten nearly completed a home run cycle: he had a GS, a 3 run and two 2 run HR. That’s something that still has never been accomplished at the MLB level as of 2022. It’s been done twice in the minors, both coincidentally by Cardinals AA players.
