I said it in the 1995 thread. The moves they made in December 1995 were insane.

20 years later, I still don't know who O'Donnell is trying to throw the ball to.

 I was at that game. Last row of section 32 with my family. I don't think I appreciated how cool an ultimate grand slam was at the time. I do remember that HTS used the highlight for a good five years to promote O's baseball.

I was there too! Great moment to say the least!

I believe it's the only one in ML history. Remember going nuts watching it on tv.

Was there... tickets behind the visiting dugout.. left in the top of the 9th despite my objections. Good times!

I was in SRO behind the scoreboard (flag porch). Back when those tix cost just $3 on the day of the game (bleacher seats were $5). $3 to see the greatest game I've ever seen in person (or likely ever will see). I'll never forget that ball going out. What a game.

Well, you saw something that only the people who were there have ever been witness to... except for the end of that game, it's never happened before or since... so, you're part of a very small club...

According to Wikipedia, Alan Trammell did it in 1988 also. Can't confirm because I'm at work though. 3-2 count. Two outs. Down three. Walk off slam.

It was bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, full count. The interesting thing is that Ive found numerous articles in the last 5 years or so that have stated that Hoiles was the only one to do it 3-2 and 2 outs. Its not that hard to research and see that Trammell had done it too. That's poor research and journalism.

bb-ref says you're right... last time I looked (God knows how long ago), Hoiles was listed as the only one...  

 

Other lists are wrong because they don't include the count in the list of "ultimates"... but bb-ref says it was a 3-2 count...

 

So, the small club you're a part of is 26.535 larger than I realized... still, a pretty small club, considering how many tickets have been sold to ballgames...

Ironically, Khris Davis hit a walk off grand slam last night.
