30 teams with 23 active players each. 30 * 23 = 690 players. This doesn't include any players on IR though. Other players can be called up to replace them and the IR players don't count towards the 23 man roster limit. Teams are only allowed to play 20 players in any game. The normal breakdown is 12 forwards (4 lines), 6 defensemen (3 pairings) and 2 goaltenders. The other 3 players on their roster are "scratches" and are not allowed to participate in that game.
No MLB player has ever hit 4 home runs in 1 game twice, nor has any player ever hit 5 HRs in 1 game. 16 players have hit 4 home runs, 13 of them in a regulation 9 innings. Mike Schmidt hit his 4th in the 10th inning on April 17, 1976 to lead the Phillies over the Cubs 18-16, after being down by as much as 11 runs in the game. Players with 4 home runs in a single game include Shawn Green of the Mets, with a total of 19 bases scored in a game in 2002. The most recent effort was by Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers in May 2012. (see related link for all 16 players)

Xavier Nady, ballplayer currently playing with the Chicago Cubs.
Yes. When the Decatur Staleys of the NFL moved to Chicago in 1921, they played their home games at Cubs Park (now known as Wrigley Field). George Halas renamed the team to Bears in 1922 as a tribute to the Cubs. Legend has it his reason for choosing Bears as the new nickname was that if baseball players were Cubs, since football players were larger, football players were Bears.
This game is for players with any ages.

It happened to Chicago Cubs infielder Mike Fontenot during a four-game series in San Francisco between the Cubs and the Giants in August 2010. Fontenot began the series as a versatile infielder for the Cubs. He even contributed a key two-run double in the eighth inning for Chicago in Game 2, an 8-to-6 win for the Cubs. But two hours before Game 3, Fontenot was traded to the Giants, forcing him to change clubhouses. So overnight, the LSU product went from a team out of the pennant race to one that was destined to win the 2010 World Series. Fontenot pinch hit for the Giants in Game 4 against the Cubs, but he struck out.
