Tonight the Cubs allowed three homers on three straight pitches...has this ever been done before in MLB history?

Can't find anything on it. Nothing specific regarding consecutive pitches.

One of them didn't even go over the fence. Kyle Farnsworth is also pitching right now for the Pirates. The fans are ric flairing it up in the stands right now as well. Crazy shit.

Never mind...now that the pitch-by-pitch is up on ESPN I see that the third homer came after a called strike...so it was three homers in four pitches. Should have known better than to trust Zonk, the fountain of misinformation. (I had been listening to the radio broadcast on the way home and in all the excitement didn't realize the homers were -- allegedly -- on consecutive pitches...except Moreland insisted they were consecutive pitches about three times over the next several innings.)

As a side note, during my fruitless research into whether it had happened before, I read that there apparently is an unwritten rule that a batter should take the first pitch after back-to-back homers (which, as it turns out, may have been the case tonight).
