Apr 23, 1999 · Fernando Tatis, who had not hit a grand slam during his Major League career, homered twice with the bases loaded — both times off Chan Ho Park — in the third inning. Tatis, not only became the first Major League ballplayer to hit two grand slams in one inning, but he also set a new record with eight runs batted in during a single inning.
Apr 23, 1999 · He slugged two grand slams in the same inning. Los Angeles scored single runs in the first and second innings and led 2-0 as the Cardinals came to bat in the top of the third. The Cardinals had managed three baserunners and a stolen base in the first two innings but didn’t score.

Let’s start here, because this is probably the most incredible part of the entire situation. Well, the most incredible thing other than Tatis actually hitting two grand slams in the same inning. Try to imagine any scenario in today’s game in which any manager lets any pitcher stick around in an inning long enough to even be in position to give up t...
Before Park even faced Tatis for a second time, manager Davey Johnson had a dilemma. Park had already faced 11 batters in the third inning and seven of them had scored. The bases were loaded for Mark McGwire — who hit a line drive deep into the outfield for a single in his first AB of the inning — with two outs, but Johnson left Park in the game an...
Cardinals starter Jose Jimenez was solid in this contest, going seven innings and allowing three earned runs. It was his third consecutive seven-inning outing to start the 1999 season, and his ERA stood at a respectable 2.95 after the contest. Things quickly turned sour. In his next 11 starts covering 59 1/3 innings, Jimenez gave up 53 earned runs ...
Tatis signed with the Rangers at 17 out of the Dominican Republic and he made his big league debut five years later, batting seventh in a lineup that featured future Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez and stars Juan Gonzalez and Will Clark. His first at-bat ended in an infield single that drove home a run. He was traded to the Cardinals the next summer i...
Chan Ho Park had a very solid major-league career. He really did. The right-hander from South Korea made his big league debut at 20 years old and threw his final pitch in the majors at 37. He made an All-Star team, took the mound for 287 career starts and even had a 2.61 ERA in 13 career playoff relief appearances. But he’ll always be known for fou...
You know all about Tatis’ son, Fernando Tatis Jr. The Padres called him up for Opening Day 2019 — damn the service time implications — and he was a bolt of energy from the very start of his big-league career. The Junior Tatis hit .317 with a 154 OPS+, 22 homers, 16 stolen bases and a 4.2 bWAR despite playing just 84 games, in his Age 20 season. And...
Mike Shannon is a Cardinals icon. He was the third baseman for the World Series-winning squads in 1964 and 1967 and has been broadcasting Cardinals games in some way, shape or form since 1972; 2021 is his final year in the booth. So it was only fitting that he was behind the microphone for this dramatic third inning. And he nailed both calls with t...
Just a couple of other things about the game that were interesting. J.D. Drew went 2-for-4 on the day for the Cardinals, including a home run of his own. But he made two of the three outs in that third inning. The Dodgers had three former Rookie of the Year winners come to the plate that day — Raul Mondesi, Eric Karros and Todd Hollandsworth. Cardi...
