The front: Two straight games from the same team, and in
fact, as Schmidt was on-deck on the previous card, it could conceivably be two
straight cards from two straight at-bats. Wouldn’t that be cool? In that same
three-game weekend Schmidt went 4-for-12, including a home run off of Craig
Swan in the Saturday game.
The back: Schmidt’s major-league record was tied by the
Dodgers’ Adrian Beltre in 2004 and broken by the Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez with
52 in 2007. 48 remained the National League record until 2019, when Eugenio
Suarez of the Reds hit 49.
I'll bet Nolan Arenado will set the new record in 2020
