Baseball
On May 9, 1999, in a game against Maryland, this Florida State second baseman authored one of the most absurd single-game stat lines in baseball history. After starting the day with a single, he proceeded to hit 6 consecutive home runs in his next 6 at-bats, finishing the day with 6 home runs, 16 RBIs, and 25 total bases, which are all still single-game records. He’d go on to be an All-American and win Most Outstanding Player at the College World Series that year. Name this player.

This first baseman spent 10 seasons with the Kansas City Monarchs, batting .260 (according to Baseball-Reference) and earning All-Star honors in 1942 and 1943. Still, his posthumous Hall of Fame induction in 2022, which many in the game considered long overdue, had less to do with his playing career and more to do with his decades of advocacy for the Negro Leagues and its players, perhaps most famously in Ken Burns's "Baseball" documentary.
