	I know John Boccabella did it for the Expos around 1973, and Willie
McCovey in '77 or '78.  I think there are at least 8 players to accomplish
2 HRs in one inning.
	As far as most productive inning, Dusty Baker batted 3 times in one
inning for the 1973 Braves.  I don't know what he did in those at-bats, but
to get up 3 times somebody in the lineup had a heck of an inning.
