Two MLB grand slams in the same inning! Unpossible? [View all]

I'm watching the Giants Padres game and they were talking about the Padres newest, hottest 20 year old rookie, Fernando Tatís Jr (batting .750), and mentioned his father's extraordinary batting record. I was convinced they meant two grand slams in the same game and had to look it up.

Fernando Tatís became the only player to hit two grand slams in the same inning, when he attained the milestone, slugging two in the third inning for the St. Louis Cardinals on April 23, 1999. In achieving the feat, he also set a new major league record with eight runs batted in in a single inning. Thirteen players have hit two grand slams in a single Major League Baseball (MLB) game to date. No player has accomplished the feat more than once in his career and no player has ever hit more than two in a game.



Damn!
