It wasn’t just rare—it was something baseball has never seen before.
Fernando Tatis Sr. delivered one of the most astonishing innings in MLB history on April 23, 1999, crushing two grand slams in the same frame to drive in eight runs by himself. The Cardinals erupted for 11 runs in that third inning, overwhelming the Dodgers in a game that turned into a personal showcase of power. Tatis’ 8 RBIs remain the MLB record, and while others have hit two grand slams in a game, no one before—or since—has done it in a single inning.
