Lloyd McClendon, and it was 5 for 5, not 4 for 4.

Damn baseball questions :D

[pac man]

McClendon, the current manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, came to Williamsport with the Anderson Little League from Gary, Indiana. In a single elimination tournament that would take 3 consecutive wins, Lloyd made his presence known early in the tournament. In the first two games he had 4 official at bats. Lloyd swung the bat only 4 times. Lloyd hit the ball out of the park 4 times earning his team a trip to the final games.

Yea it was McClendon. 5 swings too.

damn, sorry that is what I meant...Lloyd is from my hometown and I played at the same LL as he did, as well as the same HS, we loved when he played for the pirates, he used to give us gloves and stuff, plus our catcher always had the best stuff, as he would get the catchers equip from the pirates...what was neat is that our nickname was the panthers so the "P" matched perfectly...

1971: Lloyd McClendon, who would become a Major League and later the manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, hits five home runs in five at bats during the World Series for Gary, Ind. ...
