Every one of those hits Owings got was impressive, the two home runs were both over 400 feet.
I remember former Padre and good hitting pitcher Tim Lollar hitting two home runs in a game and I think Livan Hernandez did this a couple of years ago.

From SI's feature on Byrnsie:
Asked to name something people don't know about Byrnes, Arizona second baseman Orlando Hudson thinks for a minute, then exclaims, "I know! The man don't own no underwear!" This is true. Byrnes rolls commando-style away from the park and plays in only sliding shorts (no cup). "I ran out of underwear in college and never bought any more," he explains. "I don't like to be restricted."

I realize that, Jimmy, thanks -- errant balls during warm-ups, BP, and such are still a possibility.

Tony Gwynn got nadded once in the batter's box on a foul ball.

The words "intrascrotal hematoma" (and Barrett's post-hematoma numbers) should be enough of an argument.
