  • A third of the occurrences happened on the player's twenty-fifth birthday.
  • Klesko's first time was the only one to take place in a loss.
  • Vaughn and Amarista hit theirs as pinch-hitters.
  • Nelson's birthday blast was the second of his four career homers.
  • Kennedy and Hairston each paired theirs with a double.
  • Hairston's was hit in the bottom of the ninth and sent the game to extra innings. The Padres won in the bottom of the eighteenth inning.
  • Grubb's was not only the first, but also the only one to be part of a three-hit game.
