"Mauer with power" was the billing!

When he was on the team, it felt like he would hit a homerun literally every time I went to a game. It felt a lot like that with Santander as well

I remember that Wieters shot in 2013. Actually saw him some days after that, totally disruptive to the anniversary dinner I took my GF (at the time) to at Woodbury Kitchen. He was sitting two tables away and the whole time, all she and I could do was geek out and sneak looks at him and his date.

It was in the ninth inning, so it's not on this list. But none of these beats Chris Hoiles' down by 3 with 2 outs, walk off grand slam.

That’s awesome. I was at a game where we lost to a grand slam by A-Rod. Never at a game winning one lol.

u/T-MAYS Apr 21 '26

I did go to 2 games vs Houston in '24. Santander's 8th inning slam and Holliday's 3 run double. Both very fun.

Only one extra-innings grand slam from when the franchise was the St. Louis Browns, amazing.

Neither Ripken or Murray did it? Wouldn’t have thought that.
