. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Johnny Bench hit three home runs in one game for the third time in his career to power the Reds to a 5-3 triumph over the Padres. Bench's first round-tripper came in the second inning. He added his second smash in the fourth and hit his third in the eighth after Ken Griffey had singled. Bench has hit two or more homers in one game 17 times in his career. His last three-homer game was on May 9, 1973. [The Sporting News]
