On April 30, 1961, Mays borrowed a bat from teammate Joey Amalfitano and hit four home runs against the Milwaukee Braves.
For twenty years, from 1954 until his retirement in 1973, Willie Mays was named to the All-Star team each season. However, in the four years from 1959 to 1962, two All-Star games were played each season; as a result, Willie Mays played in a total of 24 All-Star games, a record he shares with Hank Aaron and Stan Musial. He was in the starting line-up for 18 of those games, always playing center field.
This is actually an interesting question. Four players have done it: Eddie Murray, Raffy Palmeiro, Hank Aaron and Willie Mays. So, obviously it was either Aaron or Mays. Aaron hit his 500th home run in 1968; Mays in 1965. However, both Mays and Aaron didn't get his 3,000th hit until 1970. So, now the question is, who got his 3,000th hit first? Aaron got his on, May 17 and Mays got his on July 18. So, your answer is Hank Aaron, even though Mays hit his 500th home run 3 years before Aaron!
