20 years ago today Cardinal 3rd baseman

Fernando Tatis hit 2 grand slams in one inning. A record that will probably last forever.

A record that will also last forever?

Dodger pitcher Chan Ho Park gave up BOTH grand slams

Junior, the rising star who is going to break a lot of records, will never eclipse that one.

Yeah. That's a tough feat to match, let alone best.

Any idea what the final score of the game was?

Thought to include the final.

Had to re-google for the box score.

Cards 12, Dodgers 5

like losing a 9-inning no hitter on a bloop hit in the 10th, if the Dodgers had pulled out a win.

In 2 consecutive at bats, but not in 1 inning.

Wiki's wording was a bit cloudy but didnt say it was in a "batted around" situation.
