Five Hit Games
Posted by Raphy on February 22, 2009
Here are the players (1956--2008) with at least 5 games in their career of at least 5 hits. The list surprised me a bit.
Games Link to Individual Games+-----------------+-----+-------------------------+ Pete Rose 10 Ind. Games Tony Gwynn 9 Ind. Games Dave Winfield 7 Ind. Games Ichiro Suzuki 7 Ind. Games Paul Molitor 7 Ind. Games Johnny Damon 7 Ind. Games Roberto Clemente 7 Ind. Games Rod Carew 7 Ind. Games Kirby Puckett 6 Ind. Games Lou Brock 6 Ind. Games Luis Aparicio 6 Ind. Games Maury Wills 5 Ind. Games Bernie Williams 5 Ind. Games Alfonso Soriano 5 Ind. Games Rafael Palmeiro 5 Ind. Games Jorge Orta 5 Ind. Games Willie Mays 5 Ind. Games Kenny Lofton 5 Ind. Games Curt Flood 5 Ind. Games Andre Dawson 5 Ind. Games Orlando Cepeda 5 Ind. Games George Brett 5 Ind. Games
In addition to some great and really good players we also have some good players who didn't walk much.
As difficult as 5 in a career seem, Ichiro and Gwynn both pulled off 4 in a season and Dave Winfield had 3 in June of '84. (Don Mattingly also had 2 such games that month giving the Yankees 5 in one month. They went 2-3 in those games)
On the opposite end of the spectrum, of the 47 players who have 2500 or more hits since 1956, only Barry Bonds and Louis Gonzalez have never had a 5 hit game.
