Atlanta Braves History: Record for most home runs in an inning (July 3, 1967)

In Atlanta-Fulton Stadium‚ Billy Williams‚ Ron Santo‚ and Randy Hundley all homer for the Cubs in the first‚ and Rico Carty and Felipe Alou also go deep for the Braves in the same inning. The five round-trippers tie a major league record for home runs hit by two teams in the same inning, but it is the first time its been done in the opening frame.

Now I appreciate records for the Braves but not when it also involves the other team. :)
