Mark Whiten
Mark played for the Blue Jays, Indians (twice), Cardinals, Red Sox, Phillies, Braves, Mariners (the last 3 teams in 1996 alone), and the Yankees. In 11 seasons, he stepped to the plate 3,104 times in 939 games and sported a .259 career batting average.
His Cardinal claim to fame, similarly to Fernando Tatis, can be traced to one night's performance during a single game. On September 7, 1993, he hit four home runs and drove in 12 runs against the Cincinnati Reds in the second game of a doubleheader. He tied the all-time single-game records in both categories in the process.
Those four home runs represent 4% of his career total.
