Only three players ever hit three homers in a game twice in the same city in the same season. Name them. Thanks.

I think Johnny Mize did it twice at home (as a Card) in 1938, and Ralph Kiner did the same in 1947 for the Pirates.
jeff bagwell hit 3 at wrigley and 3 at commiskey in 1999

Great job, Craig S. & sid.
Johnny Mize & Ralph Kiner & Jeff Bagwell are the answers.

There are actually 4, because YL's answer of Sammy Sosa is also correct. He did it twice at home in 2001:

Thanks, Craig. I remembered that Sammy was the first to hit three in a game three times in a season, so I guessed that two of the games might have been at Wrigley.

Thanks a lot, Craig. I found this one when I checked Bagwell's data in Baseball Library and forgot there should be possible someone made it after him. My mistake.
