Single Season Leaders for Grand Slams in the American League

Each of these greats has hit the big one — not just your regular every day home run, but the all exciting grand slam more times in a single American League season than any other player.

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred all-time single season leaders in American League grand slam (research courtesy of David Vincent). Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.
"After becoming a regular in 1984, (Don) Mattingly established himself as one of the preeminent stars of the 1980s. He hit for average and power, fielded his position at first base with brilliance, and displayed a work ethic and charisma reminiscent of Yankee greats of the past." - Author Chris Renino on BaseballLibrary.com
