Kevin Elster = legendary

Article looking back on Pac Bell Park's first ever regular season game from 10 years ago.

In the regular-season home opener 10 days later, a 6-5 Dodgers victory, 35-year-old Los Angeles shortstop Kevin Elster hit three home runs, two off Rueter and one off Felix Rodriguez. Only four times in 12 previous seasons had Elster hit two in a game.

Elster batted eighth in the game. According to F.P. Santangelo, a Dodger that year, Elster had been out drinking until 3 that morning because he did not know he was starting.

That, I did not know. Babe Ruth and Hack Wilson would be proud.

So he likely was hungover when he hit 3 homeruns in one game. Adds to his mystique. He's also an accomplished actor!

Babe Ruth and Hack Wilson would be proud.

Also, David Wells, who threw that perfect game while hung over. Or so he claims.
