odd baseball \"record\" question
I tried googling and wiki-ing this and both were very unhelpful.
Who is the major leaguer with the most career home runs that never hit a grand slam? While trying to find this one of the results mentioned a player that hit into a triple play and then later hit a grand slam. Probably one of the rarer feats in baseball I'd imagine. |

Whoever it is, I imagine Jeter will pass them up soon.
Edit: nvm, he hit one recently |

Re: odd baseball \"record\" question
Google says that the record holder is Glenn Davis, who hit 190 home runs without a Grand Slam.
Other notes: Ozzie Smith went 9,396 ABs without a Grand Slam. Sammy Sosa's 248th home run was his first grand slam, which is the record for most home runs prior to a player's first Grand Slam. |

Though I'm glad he finally got one, as I was positive his first GS would come against the Red Sox in a big spot. One other freak note about grand slams that everybody probably knows. Jim Palmer went his entire career without giving up a grand slam (according to him, he never gave one up at any level, and it's because he really bore down when the bases were loaded). |
