Text of the page (random words):
homer or solo shot with one runner on base two runs score the base runner and the batter and thus the home run is often called a two run homer or two run shot similarly a home run with two runners on base is a three run homer or three run shot the term four run homer is never used instead it is called a grand slam hitting a grand slam is the best possible result for the batter s turn at bat and the worst possible result for the pitcher and his team grand slam edit main article grand slam baseball a grand slam occurs when the bases are loaded that is base runners are at first second and third base and the batter hits a home run according to the dickson baseball dictionary the term originated in the card game of contract bridge an inside the park grand slam is a grand slam that is also an inside the park home run a home run without the ball leaving the field and it is very rare due to the relative rarity of loading the bases along with the significant rarity nowadays of inside the park home runs on july 25 1956 roberto clemente became the only mlb player to have ever scored a walk off inside the park grand slam in a 9 8 pittsburgh pirates win over the chicago cubs at forbes field on april 23 1999 fernando tatís sr made history by hitting two grand slams in one inning both against chan ho park of the los angeles dodgers with this feat tatís also set a major league record with 8 rbi in one inning on july 29 2003 against the texas rangers bill mueller of the boston red sox became the only player in major league history to hit two grand slams in one game from opposite sides of the plate he hit three home runs in that game and his two grand slams were in consecutive at bats on august 25 2011 the new york yankees became the first team to hit three grand slams in one game vs the oakland a s the yankees eventually won the game 22 9 after trailing 7 1 on october 25 2024 freddie freeman made history by hitting a walk off grand slam in the bottom of the 10th inning in game 1 of the world series leading the los angeles dodgers to a 6 3 victory over the new york yankees freeman is the only player in mlb history to do so in the world series specific situation home runs edit these types of home runs are characterized by the specific game situation in which they occur and can theoretically occur on either an outside the park or inside the park home run walk off home run edit main article walk off home run a walk off home run is a home run hit by the home team in the bottom of the ninth inning any extra inning or other scheduled final inning which gives the home team the lead and thereby ends the game the term is attributed to hall of fame relief pitcher dennis eckersley 9 so named because after the run is scored the losing team has to walk off the field two world series have ended via the walk off home run the first was the 1960 world series when bill mazeroski of the pittsburgh pirates hit a ninth inning solo home run in the seventh game of the series off new york yankees pitcher ralph terry to give the pirates the world championship the second time was the 1993 world series when joe carter of the toronto blue jays hit a ninth inning three run home run off philadelphia phillies pitcher mitch williams in game 6 of the series to help the toronto blue jays capture their second world series championship in a row such a home run can also be called a sudden death or sudden victory home run that usage has lessened as walk off home run has gained favor along with mazeroski s 1960 shot the most famous walk off or sudden death home run would most likely be the shot heard round the world hit by bobby thomson to win the 1951 national league pennant for the new york giants along with many other game ending home runs that famously ended some of the most important and suspenseful baseball games a walk off home run over the fence is an exception to baseball s one run rule normally if the home team is tied or behind in the ninth or extra innings the game ends as soon as the home team scores enough runs to achieve a lead if the home team has two outs in the inning and the game is tied the game will officially end either the moment the batter successfully reaches first base or the moment the runner touches home plate whichever happens last however this is superseded by the ground rule which provides automatic doubles when a ball in play hits the ground first and then leaves the playing field and home runs when a ball in play leaves the playing field without ever touching the ground in the latter case all base runners including the batter are allowed to cross the plate leadoff home run edit a leadoff home run is a home run hit by the first batter of a team the leadoff hitter of the first inning of the game in mlb major league baseball rickey henderson holds the career record with 81 lead off home runs 10 11 craig biggio holds the national league career record with 53 fourth overall following henderson george springer with
