[1][2] One hundred nineteen different players have recorded at least six hits in a single nine-inning Major League Baseball game.
Davy Force was the first player to collect six hits in a single game, doing so for the Philadelphia Athletics against the Chicago White Stockings on June 27, 1876.
[10] Guy Hecker, the only pitcher to have accomplished the feat, also broke the single-game major league record for runs scored with seven.
[19] Of the 75 players eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame who have recorded six hits in a nine-inning game, eighteen have been elected, three on the first ballot.
Only Jimmie Foxx has accomplished the feat more than once in his career[13] and no player has ever amassed more than nine hits in a game, with Johnny Burnett holding that distinction.
