Reggie Jackson, 1977 World Series-deciding Game 6. not a fluke, but let me know if someone ever beats it:
three pitches
three pitchers
three homers

She didn’t want to but when he came up after hitting 2 already she said if he hits another then yes. She was pretty confident that wasn’t going to happen. No sooner had she uttered those words then bam - no 3 on its way.

I'm pleasantly surprised we're on page 2 and no one's mentioned Brady Anderson's 50 HR season yet, which is probably the flukiest 50 HR season ever (Jose Bautista's 54 HR season probably was at the time, but obviously he continued to hit with prodigious power).
I wonder how it felt being the guy who drafted Anderson in 1996, and then how it felt being the guy who drafted Anderson in 1997 (he still had a good season, but he was back to his prior power levels, and hit just 18 HRs).

Esteban Loaiza's 2003 is one of the flukiest great seasons by a pitcher in recent memory. I don't know what happened that season (maybe he snorted a ton of coke?), but not only was he mediocre literally the rest of his long career, but that season was sandwiched in between two largely typical seasons for him:
2002: 9-10, 5.71 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 5.2 K/9
2003: 21-9, 2.90 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 8.2 K/9
2004: 10-7, 5.70 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 5.8 K/9
It was as if he shoehorned every good game of his career into that 2003 season.
