Michael Busch and the Chicago Cubs turned their holiday into a home run. Eight of them, to be exact. Busch hit three longballs, Pete Crow-Armstrong connected twice and the Cubs went deep a franchise-record eight times to hammer the St.

Six more times, a Cub homered in the game before the one in which he homered three times. Billy Williams, in 1968, and Kingman, in 1979, hit two homers in the game prior to smacking three. In 1978, Kingman homered once in the games both before and after his game with three.
