The only other time I had a 4 Hr game was with Giambi's awesome 2011 card.

In most cases, I tend to shy away from position players who average "3L" or further lefty, because I find that they just aren't worth it: they don't hit well enough against the righty pitchers, who are of course the greater % of pitchers. Frank Howard in the 60s is an exception to my rule. He will absolutely mash the ball against lefties, and still hit for plenty of power against righties on most card. He is gradually moving towards the top of my "most desired player" list in the 60s.

I have one career 4-homer games I can remember... wait for it... Kevin McReynolds in Back to the 80s. Great game for Frank.

In the 70's set I like Kingman also despite the 3L
