10 RBI's for Anderson



How's this for a day at the plate:

Garrett Anderson of the LA Angels was 4 for 6. Ok pretty good, but wait there's more.

Those 4 hits consisted of a Grand Slam, a 3-Run HR, a 2-run Double and a 1-run Double! Yes, you added correctly, that's 10 RBI's in one game! Somehow along the way he managed to leave 2 men on base. All this added up to a spanking off the NY Yankees 18-9.

The record is 12 RBI's shared by Jim Bottmoley in 1924 and Mark Whitten in 1993. Whitten accomplished this with 4 HR's against the Reds.

Still, this is one amazing display of hitting!
