The Twins have hit three gand slam home runs so far this year. Five Twins players (Allison, Carew, Hrbek, Puckett and Hunter) have each hit three grand slam home runs in a single season. Eighty one different Twins players have hit home runs in a Twins uni with the bases loaded but only 33 players have done it more then once. But who is the Twins king of the grand salami? What Twins player has hit the most career grand slam home runs wearing a Twins uniform?

Who has hit the most grand slam home runs since 1961 you ask? None other then Alex Rodriguez who has 23. But then again how many would have he had hit if he had not juiced…. Manny Ramirez is next with 21.

  1. My father took me to a game at Met and my memory is Killebrew hit a grand slam and also another homer. Thought game was against k.c. Athletics and final score of Twins winning 12 to 4? Was it a dream or can you tell me the date of this game? Thank you!

    1. James,

      From what I can determine the game you are referring to took place on July 18, 1962 when the Twins beat the Cleveland Indians 14-3. That is the infamous game when the Twins hit two GS home runs in the first inning. I remember that game too as my brother and I had finished helping milk the cows and we ran down to the river to go fishing, naturally we took our transistor radio with us to listen to the Twins game.
