Josh Hamilton won over baseball on a summer night in the Bronx four years ago, putting on an unbelievable show of power in the home run derby at old Yankee Stadium. On Tuesday night in Baltimore, the Texas Rangers star captivated all of baseball with his home run prowess again — this time during a regular season game — swatting four homers off Orioles pitchers in a 10-3 win at Camden Yards . "I always wanted to get three (homers) and I never did that," Hamilton told reporters after the game "Just thanking the Lord up above." We make big deals about perfect games, but 21 pitchers have recorded one throughout baseball history. Only 15 other players have hit four home runs in the same game with the last one before Hamilton being Carlos Delgado on Sept. 25, 2003. A few facts about Hamilton's four-homer effort:
