Game of his life

Hammer755 · 06-09-2002, 04:39 PM

I'm currently playing a solo league where I play out all of games. My starting left fielder and cleanup hitter went on the DL for 2 months, so his backup became the starter and I called up a minor leaguer to be my 5th OF. The day before my guy can come off the DL I decide to give the 5th OF, who is a switch-hitter, the start as a going-away present before I sent him back to the minors. He responded with 2 grand slams, one from each side of the plate, and he now holds the league record for RBI in a game. I hope he doesn't hold his demotion against me.

I would have loved to see your face when he hit his 2nd GS. I'll bet it was priceless.

Andy · 06-09-2002, 05:31 PM

Thats amazing! A grand slam from each side of the plate. I'll bet that has never happened in real life.

Tiger Fan · 06-09-2002, 07:01 PM

I cant believe you sent him down right after that. What does a guy have to do to stick in the big leagues?

Jermanfu · 06-09-2002, 09:46 PM

I don't know about from both sides of the plate. But a couple of years ago, Fernando Tatis hit 2 grand slams in the same INNING. It was when he was still with the Cards. Does anyone else remember if both were from the same side or different sides? I don't even know if he's a switch hitter or not. But I tell you what, 2 grand slams in the same inning is pretty darn good

Matthew Iverson · 06-09-2002, 11:56 PM

Probably the same side since both were off of the same pitcher Chan Ho Park

Didn't Carlos Baerga do it from both sides in a game? Maybe he's the one that hit 2 HR in the same inning from both sides. I know he did something like this or close to it.

MizzouRah · 06-10-2002, 05:10 AM

Tatis did it from the same side of the plate. He is only a RH. A great feat nonetheless though.

Too bad that is all I remember about his stay in St. Louie.

from BaseballLibrary.com

On April 8, 1993, at Yankee Stadium, the switch-hitter (Baerga) became the only batter in history to hit homers from both sides of the plate in the same inning.

Michael Xavier · 06-10-2002, 07:07 AM

Did Reuben Sierra once hit two grandslams in a game from both sides of the plate? Maybe that was just in a season.

davep1967 · 06-10-2002, 11:13 AM

Carlos was the only player in MLB history to hit 2 HR's in the same inning from different sides of the plate. They were not Grand slams.
