⚾️On July 28, 1979 Cubs' slugger Dave Kingman, who hit a pair of round-trippers yesterday, becomes the 6th player in major league history to hit 3 home runs in a single game twice in a season. Kingman’s trio of long flies isn't enough when Chicago drops the Shea Stadium contest to the Mets, 6-4. Kingman’s first 3 home run game of the season was a slugging duel with the Phillies’ Mike Schmidt on May 17th at Wrigley Field, another Cubs loss.⚾️ | Davenport Sports Network
