re: (less than 30 days baseball thread) second favorite tiger home run

Walker grand slam vs ATM.

The fifth-seeded Tigers never led until Rios dumped a soft liner into left field with two outs in the eighth to put the Tigers ahead 9-8. Walker finished off the rally, blasting a 3-2 pitch from A&M loser Chris Clemons into the left-field bleachers for a home run, his first CWS hit.





"This is the best all-time victory I've been associated with," said Walker, who ended an 0-for-7 CWS slump with his homer. "As far as that last at-bat, I figured I couldn't do anything worse than what I had been doing.

"I knew he was going to throw a fastball on 3-and-2, and all I had to do was make contact with it."

Actually, Walker crushed the pitch, taking with it A&M's hopes for a comeback.
