    name the team the opponent and the date

    I'll guess the Red Sox (16) against the Royals(?) in 2002(?). Johnny Damon was only a HR shy of the cycle after the 1st inning!

          Not to go off-topic, but I was at a game back in '89 in which the Pirates put up 10 runs against the Phillies in the first inning. The Phillies nickel & dimed it by scoring runs practically every other inning to win it 15-11. The most amazing part of the game was the Phillies were led by the bat of Steve Jeltz. Of his 5 career HRs, he hit two that day - one from each side of the plate. He wasn't even in the starting lineup IIRC.

            I'm in the middle of reading The Boys Of Summer by Roger Kahn and he mentions a game - I think it was the 1952 season, but possibly 1953 - where the Brooklyn Dodgers scored 15 runs in the 1st innings and ended up with 19 runs for the game.

            **Edit** Found the boxscore!

              once again my source was wrong but then again they list things by league

              they had the cleveland indians in 1950 scoring 14 in the top of the first

              they might not have been clear - meaning they might have meant the top of the first and brooklyn's was in the bottom of the first

              they seem to be wrong about 25% of the time or maybe i just misread their history points (baseball almanac)

                  I think I remember seeing that game on Classic Sports Network years ago. It's pretty cool that you were there.

                      They used to play lots of old games on that channel. I specifically remember them showing the Phillies-Pirates game from 1989.

                        Funniest thing about that game was that the Pirates' announcer said something like "If we lose this game, I'll walk back home". Apparently, as weeks passed, people were calling him out on it and he actually set up a date and made the trek from Philly to Pittsburgh which took about 2 weeks. On the good side, he made a lot for a local charity. It popped up as a commercial (I think for Miller or Budweiser) showing him walking thru the rural towns and along the roads.
