Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"Besides God, the key for me has been learning consistency. You have to be consistent as a hitter and consistent and disciplined in your preparation to be successful in this game. I wasn't always that way. Respecting the game was an important lesson for me, and the more you play this game, the more you respect it. You appreciate what the game means." - Fernando Tatis in The Washington Post (07/26/2009, 'WHEN IT CLICKED FERNANDO TATIS')

Fernando Gabriel Tatis was a Major League Baseball player for the Texas Rangers (1997-1998), St. Louis Cardinals (1998-2000), Montreal Expos (2001-2003), Baltimore Orioles (2006), and New York Mets (2007). Tatis was signed at the age of 17 as an amateur free agent by Omar Minaya, while playing high school baseball in the Dominican Republic.

On April 23, 1999 [Box 1 | Box 2], Fernando Tatis, who had not hit a grand slam during his Major League career, homered twice with the bases loaded, both times off Chan Ho Park, in the third inning. Tatis, not only became the first Major League ballplayer to hit two grand slams in one inning, but he also set a new record with eight runs batted in during a single inning.
