Really rare feat
Good work by the Boston Globe to figure out, with the help of three mathematicians, the precise extent of the rarity that happened when the Red Sox hit four consecutive home runs Sunday.
Outfielder J.D. Drew hit the second of the four, just as he did last September for the Dodgers. To have any team hitting four consecutive home runs is rare enough, but to have the same player hit the second home run for both teams, well, just how rare is that?
One in 14.3 million was the answer.
But it happened.
