The Mark of the RBI Beasts, 6 6 6
2008-05-03 21:23
by Bob Timmermann

All three players had 6 RBI games today. That's the first time that there have been three different players with 6 or more RBI in a game in one day since September 18, 2006 when Aramis Ramirez of the Cubs (with 7) and Jeff Baker and Garret Atkins (both of Colorado and both with 6) did it.

Back on June 8, 1990 four different players had 6 RBI in a game. Nelson Santovenia (for the Expos), George Bell (for the Blue Jays), and Will Clark and Rick Parker (both for the Giants) did the honors.

There was another instance on May 18, 1983 with Greg Brock, Ted Simmons, and Jack Clark being the trio. And it's possible there could be more.

Ojeda got his 6 RBI without hitting a home run, which isn't all that unusual as it happened twice last year. The list (since 1956) includes some great hitters, but also guys like Paul Bako, Duane Kuiper, and Dave Giusti.

When I saw the date it last happened, I was sure one of the players was going to be Marlon Anderson.
