Mize, who spent 1943, 1944 and 1945 in military service during
World War II, actually holds the Major League record for the most 3 home run games, blasting three long balls in a single game six times.
Mize was a 4 time home run champion and a 3 time RBI leader, and a batting title short of a Triple Crown in two different National League seasons. Mize did win a batting championship, in 1939, but in 1940 he "only" hit .314 for 2nd best, and in 1942 he "only" hit .305 for 4th best.
