The San Diego Padres' slugger donned his road jersey with SAN DIEGO on it instead of his home one with PADRES on it. One week later, Colbert returned to Atlanta Stadium and tied Stan Musial's Major League record with five home runs in a doubleheader vs. the Braves. Colbert also drove in 13 runs during the twinbill, which San Diego swept 9–0 and 11–7.
