Some grand-slam trivia
Here's the lowdown on today's Sox slammin':
The two grand slams in a game was the 72d time that's happened in the big leagues.
The Red Sox have done it 10 times, more than any other team.
The last time the Sox did it was July 29,2003, when switch-hitting Billy Mueller did it by himself in Texas, hitting a slam from both sides of the plate.
The last time two Sox players did it in the same game was May 2, 1995, when John Valentin and Mo Vaughn did it in Yankee Stadium.
The last time two Sox players did it at home was Aug. 7, 1984, when Tony Armas and Bill Buckner both hit slams in the first game of a double-header against Detroit.
It is the second time this season it's been done, The White Sox did it Aoril 13 vs. the Tigers.
Mike Lowell's slam was the seventh of his career. J.D. Drew's was his fourth, second this season, and doesn't count the slam he hit in Game 6 of the ALCS against the Indians last season.
these were the second and third grand slams on the season for Boston. David Ortiz hit the other, so its impossible for this to have been Drew's second of the season.
Nomah did it himself in 1999...
Gordon, you forgot Nomar's two GS's against Seattle on 5/10/99 in his infamous 10 RBI performance.
Gordan quick question when Jason Varitek retires is he a hall of famer? Or just a redsox hall of famer?
