Art Shamsky of the Cincinnati Reds set a Major League record by hitting 3 home runs in a game he didn't enter until the 8th inning in August 1966, the most ever by a player who didn't start a game and a record that has never been matched. In the next game he played, two days later, he entered as a pinch hitter and again hit a home run, tying a Major League record for home runs in consecutive at bats.
