 Did you know??

MILWAUKEE -- Chicago Cubs first baseman Mark Bellhorn became the first National League player ever and only the second in the Majors to homer from both sides of the plate in one inning Thursday (Aug. 29, 2002) Bellhorn hit a two-run homer from the right side off Milwaukee lefty Andrew Lorraine in the fourth inning. In Bellhorn's second at-bat of the inning against right-hander Jose Cabrera, he turned around and hit his 23rd home run from the left side, a three-run shot.  By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com

another article about it:

Mark has power from both sides of the plate and made major-league history by hitting one home run right-handed and one left-handed in one inning:
Aug 29, 2002 - Mark Bellhorn became the first player in the National League ever to homer from both sides of the plate in the same inning as the Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 13-10. Bellhorn joined Carlos Baerga as the only switch-hitters in major league history to homer from both sides of the plate in the same inning. Baerga accomplished the feat in the seventh inning on April 8, 1993, against the New York Yankees.
(Amazing MLB Baseball Records) 

CBS.Sportsline.com ranked Mark as number four out of all 2nd basemen - quite an honor!

In the 4 games of the World Series, Mark had an on-base plus slugging percentage of .860, .870, .830, .844 

 

This is cool - I found this on Sports Illustrated.com today:
