What was distinct about the home runs hit by Matt Olson, Jaycob Brugman and Franklin Barreto for the Athletics on Saturday, is that each was the first of the player's major league career.
They became the second trio of teammates in major league history to do that, and the other instance took place more than 100 years ago.
Elias Sports Bureau research shows that the Kansas City Packers of the Federal League (a league that competed with what we call the major leagues today) had three players -- Duke Kenworthy, Art Kruger and John Potts -- do this on April 26, 1914, against the Chicago Federals.
