Vague clue - two of the three are in the Hall of fame..
Serious clue - Pittsburg Pirates is the team they were playing for when they hit the multiple homers in the same game.
Final vague clue - one of the HOFers hit three homers in the game while the other two teammates had two each. Even a player on the opposition hit two homers that day.
Gravy - Cubs answer is a nope.
