until 1969, the only playoffs in baseball was the world series. so a lot fewer games than 3000.
I can. Think about how rare it is. There are what, a max of 41 playoff games?
In a 100 years, how many play off games have there been? 3,000 or so? How many of those games had the following:
-Tie game going into the bottom of the 9th.
-3 players get on base without any of them scoring.
-Hit a home run after bases are loaded.

Eh, they can't call this the first ever playoffs walkoff grand slam then. Weak.

Cant believe that in a hundred years of baseball no ones hit a walk off grand slam in the playoffs.
Officially, I prefer common sense.
Grand Slam Single??
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Grand_Slam_Single
The game carried a 2-2 tie into the 15th inning, where Mets pitcher Octavio Dotel gave up a run on a Keith Lockhart triple, making the score 3-2 Atlanta.
The Mets loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning against Braves reliever Kevin McGlinchy and Todd Pratt drew a walk, tying the score at three.
Robin Ventura, the next batter, drilled a 1-1 pitch over the right-centerfield wall for a grand slam, sending the Mets players and fans into a frenzy. Ventura was mobbed halfway between first and second base by his teammates. The official scorer awarded Ventura a single on the grand slam because he only touched first base.
Another instance of a Grand Slam Single:
July 9, 1970: Dalton Jones of the Detroit Tigers loses a grand slam against the Boston Red Sox when he passes teammate Don Wert on the base paths. Jones pinch hits for Jim Price and belts a 2-2 pitch from Vincente Romo into the RF upper deck for a grand slam. However, he passes Wert between first and second and is called out, ending up with a 3-RBI single.
July 4, 1976: Tim McCarver passed Garry Maddox on the way to second base for his grand slam single.
If Detroit had hit a walk off Grand Slam tonight, I get the feeling that you wouldnt have any issues recognizing that as the first official one...
Yes, I'm arguing a trivial point because my team lost. Like it really fucking matters if it's the first postseason walkoff grand slam or not. You got me, buddy.If Detroit had hit a walk off Grand Slam tonight, I get the feeling that you wouldnt have any issues recognizing that as the first official one...
Seriously???
I should try that with people on base next time.Trailing by one run has never felt more insurmountable. Against a shitty pitcher, no less.
Wow nobody is safe around Hamilton whether he's at bat or in the outfield! It'd be comical if someone didn't actually die.
