Fireworks are a cornerstone of America's Fourth of July celebrations, but that can make the spirited holiday dangerous.

Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day or July 4th, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the country's declaration of independence from Great Britain in 1776. This year, Independence Day falls on Thursday.

The record for most home runs in an MLB game is 10, set by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987. The only other team to hit eight or more home runs on the Fourth of July is the Boston Red Sox in 1977.
