And Billy Loes had the fortune of having been in uniform on four occasions in which a player hit four homers in a game. He was a Dodger when Gil Hodges hit four, and when the Braves' Joe Adcock hit four against the Bums. In 1959, he was with the Orioles when Rocky Colavito slugged four at Memorial Stadium. And he was a Giant in 1961 when teammate, Willie Mays, victimized the Braves with four. It was Loes who advised rookie (and fellow Greek) Milt Pappas of the Orioles not to win too many games, because, then, "they'll expect it of you every year".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02596523274643068974noreply@blogger.com
