He gave me a bat he broke during batting practice before a game against the White Sox in 2000.

I bet he hit a third grand slam after the game

I would love to know the odds of hitting 2 grand slams in your first 2 ABs in the same inning.

It’s all downhill from here for the kid...

I’d love to just know the odds of stepping to the plate twice with the bases loaded in the same inning

This is awesome

According to Baseball Reference, there have been more than 3.9 million innings pitched over 145 seasons of Major League history. And in only one of those has the same player hit two slams

• Take a typical power-hitting cleanup batter, who hits 30 home runs in a full season (600 plate appearances).

• That cleanup batter gets to the plate in the first inning 62 percent of the time, and 1.7 percent of those plate appearances come with the bases loaded. Just 5 percent of those chances result in a homer.

• Even once the first slam is done, our hitter stands just a 1.5 percent chance of getting up to the plate again that inning. In this scenario, 21 percent of plate appearances would have the bases loaded, but once again, the home run occurs 5 percent of the time.

The end result: odds of 12 million to one for this particular scenario to come to fruition.
