Missed a Phillies anniversary yesterday and wanted to correct that error today. Special thanks to @HighHeatStats for mentioning the event last night or else I would have completely bypassed the occasion.
2008 UD Baseball Heroes #138 Mike Schmidt
On April 17th of 1976 Mike Schmidt became the first NL player to hit four consecutive Home Runs in a game. The feat was commemorated on the above card in the 2008 UD Baseball Heroes set.

The back has a capsule summary of the wild game which the Phillies eventually won 18-16. Schmidt's final Home Run of the four broke a 15-15 tie in the 9th inning.
Upper Dreck
Just gotta mention one of those things that will always bug me, Schmidt's four homer game came at Wrigley field but the UD card captures him in a Home uni - slackers.
