A's Nick Kurtz Has Historic Game

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Tied The Record For Total Bases

Joe Adcock had the record of 18 for many, many years. IIRC, he's the one whose double broke up the 12 inning perfect game Harvey Haddix had going.
He tied Shaun Green who had 19 in 2002. (I saw that on Sportscenter, but they didn't mention Adcock.)
As you said, might be the highlight. What casual fan remembers Shaun Green.
Green did hit .285 with 42 home runs that year (one of 3 seasons of 40+ homers) and hit pretty good the rest of his career. It was his 10th season, so he didn't have his career highlight in the first 15 minutes.
I saw Kurtz being interviewed on ESPN. Seems like a pretty good guy. I hope this is the start of something big, not an early pinnacle.
