Notes

  • Tony Cloninger is the only pitcher on the list.[1] He was also the only NL player to achieve the feat until 1999. Late in the game, the number eight hitter for the Braves, Denis Menke, came to bat with two men on base. Some of the Giants fans chanted, "Put him on," to suggest that the Giants pitcher should intentionally walk him to load the bases again for Cloninger. However, Menke struck out, to the boos of the hometown Giants fans.
  • Fernando Tatis is the only player to hit his grand slams during the same inning. Both were off pitcher Chan Ho Park.
  • Jim Tabor, Jim Gentile, Jim Northrup, Frank Robinson, Robin Ventura, Bill Mueller, and Josh Willingham belted their grand slams in consecutive innings.
  • Bill Mueller is the only player to hit grand slams from both sides of the plate.
  • Robin Ventura, who hit two grand slams in one game with the White Sox in 1995, later became the only player to hit a grand slam in each game of a doubleheader, while playing for the Mets on May 20, 1999.
  • Nomar Garciaparra is the only player to achieve the feat at home.
  • Nomar Garciaparra hit one more home run that day, to finish with 10 RBIs.
  • Chris Hoiles is the only player to hit two grand slams in a game during his final Major League season.
