An update on this post, Jeff Bennett at ESPN tells me that it's the first 2 triple, 2 HR game since Willie Mays did it on May 13, 1958 at the LA Coliseum vs. the Dodgers. The Coliseum strikes me as the kind of park where this could happen, with the funny shape it presented for baseball.

So Young does it almost 45 years to the day after the Say Hey Kid. I guess when he retires, Young can use this to campaign for the Hall of Fame. :-)
