Box Score of Twin Grand Slams by Nomar Garciaparra

Nomar Garciaparra of the Boston Red Sox, in only his third full season, joined two significant groups in one night of play. His twin grand slams during the same game made him the eleventh player in Major League history to accomplish the amazing feat of power & timing.

Plus, Garciaparra hit one more additional home run in this game (though not a grand slam) and became a three home run game member for the first time in his career and the 188th time in American League history.

"Superstitions are always going to be there and people in baseball will have them regardless." - Nomar Garciaparra

This was only the eleventh time where one player hit two grand slams in one game, yet the third instance by a Boston Red Sox player!

Nomar Garciaparra had ten runs batted in which tied the all time Boston Red Sox record set by Fred Lynn, Rudy York, and Norm Zauchin!

Did you know that this was also the first three home run game by a Red Sox player since "Big" Mo Vaughn did it May 30, 1997, against the Yankees?
