Slam dunk. A grand slam was commonly an inside-the-park home run in the early days of baseball, but that is now extremely unusual. Many teams have hit two grand homers in a single game, but the New York Yankees became the first team in major league history to smash three on August 25, 2011. In that game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Mark Teixeira, Johnny Damon and Bernie Williams each drove in four runs on their way to a 16-4 victory. The last time the Yankees hit two grand slams in one game was back on August 25, 1999. Mike Mussina was pitching for the Yankees then as they played the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at Tropicana Field. He gave up five straight grand slams (four by the Rays and one by Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins) and lost 14 games that season. The Yanks finished last that year with a record of 77-85. There have been other teams that have hit two grand slams in one game, but they have all done so during exhibition play or in minor league games. The Chicago White Sox are the only major league team to do it twice. They accomplished this feat on April 13, 1953, and April 15, 1955. Both games were won by them, 12-10 and 7-6 respectively. The first slam came in exhibition play and the second one was in a spring training game. Neither player reached base safely that day.
