An outfielder for five seasons with the Florida Marlins, Cody Ross hit 80 home runs during his time in South Florida. He’s one of just three Marlins, however, tohomer three times in one game.
Ross became the second player in club history to accomplish the feat on this day 15 years ago. Ross joined Mike Lowell when he recorded three blasts in a 16-5 victory over the New York Mets on Sept. 11, 2006.
Lowell homered three times in a road win over the Philadelphia Phillies in 2004. Following the first game of a three-game set against the Mets at Dolphins Stadium, the former All-Star third basemen no longer stood alone.
