From 1978 to 2001, there were ten innings in which a team banged out five doubles and one inning with six. The Mets had six doubles in the 2nd inning of their game in Montreal on July 22, 1999. Dustin Hermanson was on the mound for all of them, but was left in the game and retired fourteen in a row as soon as the doubles barrage ended
On seven occasions, a team had three triples in one inning, most recently on May 15, 1997. In the home half of the seventh, the Cubs got a triple from Brian McRae, another triple from Doug Glanville, a single from Mark Grace, and a third triple from Sammy Sosa. The Padres Tim Scott was the victim on all three.
In addition to these two eight-walk innings, this period also saw 7 seven-walk innings, 33 six-walk innings, and 193 five-walk innings. I honestly can't remember if I saw any of them, but I'm glad I didn't have to sit through them all.
Four strikeout innings, as you all know, can result when one of the third strikes gets away from the catcher and the batter ends up safe on first. There have been 29 four-strikeout innings since 1978
We mentioned wild pitches just now, so let's do them next. There were two innings with four wild pitches, 56 with three, and 1322 with two. On August 4, 1979, knuckleballer Phil Niekro tossed six wild pitches, with four of them coming in the fifth inning
On sixty other occasions, a defense allowed three runners to reach via error in the same inning, and there were another 1504 innings with two reach-on-error plays. That's a lot of extra outs to be giving up

I ran across this info tonight, and thought it would intrest others.

At some point a "home field advantage" was brought up. This article talks about it referencing postseason, not regular season... but if there really was a "home field advantage" one would think it would show itself even brighter in the postseason...http://espn.go.com/mlb/columns/bp/1260819.html
