Entering 2025, the BlueClaws have played 3,001 regular season games, and only once has a player hit three home runs. That was Jake Blalock, who did so on May 20, 2004 in a game at Lexington. We catch up with Blalock, now a match teacher and baseball coach at Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego, the same school from which both Blalock and Cole Hamels were drafted by the Phillies in 2002.
