When I was a kid playing pinners, I always made this the scenario. Surprised this is the first time it’s ever actually happened

Recrudescence

Denny's probably enjoying all the publicity.

Personally, I've never heard this before; but whatever.

Who's the marketing genius who came up with this name?

Can't wait for MLB's next Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity... (rolleyes emoticon).

We were at the game. Incredible turn of events. Twins had one hit thru 8.2 innings

Then a HBP, and a hit and walk in at bats that started 0-2 before the 0-2 slam.

First time in MLB history a team hit walkoff slam down 3 on an 0-2 count. And it was Roger Clemens’ kid too.

Kinda krazy how all his kids have kool names that start with K*

I remember QB/pol Jack and Joanne Kemp had four Js as children

Two of Jack's sons played QB out here at Churchill HS and one made the NFL.

3+ kids who all share a first initial is a good early warning sign for a real asshole*

Bote was on a 2-2 count, but yes.

Personally, I'd think the "ULTIMATE" grand slam would be down 3-0, bottom 9, 2 out, 3-2 count.....but that's just me.

1st of all, how did that embed correctly? Did Boardhost update something?!

Second-of-ly, if it had been the bottom of the 8th, would it be a Penultimate Grand Slam?

Only the 15th ever hit with two outs, and it was with two strikes as you noted*

Too sweet to be sour, too nice to be mean.
