He's the 2nd-best player in the AL behind Trout (so far).

Trivia time.

Last weekend local hero and Jack Sparrow impersonator Freddy Galvis homered from both sides of the plate in the same game, becoming just the fourth Phillies to do so (J-Roll did it twice; immortal heroes Tomas Perez and, famously, Steve Jeltz were the others). But who is the all-time leader in homering from both sides of the plate in the same game?

No cheating. Winner gets to ask James Comey anything he wants.

Mantle seems like the obvious answer.

He does. He did it 10 times at a period in history during which, before him, it had hardly been done at all. Not the most however.

Good guess. But he's behind Mantle, did it 7 times.

I'll say this: the record is co-held.

Yes I became interested when I thought Mantle must hold it but that Beltran must be close, was surprised to learn he is actually ahead of Mantle on the count (12 to 10).
