>> Has a major league player ever hit 2 homeruns in one inning?
  
I don't know about that, but there was a player in the Texas League in the 
40's who hit THREE homeruns in one inning.  I believe he played for Waco ( I
don't have my trivia book available at the moment, and his name escapes me ).
Seems as though he didn't do much when he came up with the Red Sox.

I think you're right.  I do know that Jim Northrup of the Tigers hit grand
slams on consecutive at-bats in one game in 1968.  He had a total of four
that year, including the one in Game 6 of the World Series that year.
Oops-I'm sorry, I just realized I didn't say what you were right ABOUT; I 
believe Cloninger's were in one game, but not the same inning.
