Alex Rodriguez Tied The Game, And Lou Gehrig, With This Grand Slam

by Eric Goldschein | 11:01 pm, June 12th, 2012

The situation called for a four-run home run. With three on and the Yankees down by four in the eighth inning against the Braves, A-Rod stepped to the plate with 22 grand slams in his career. And with a line drive shot into the left field stands, Rodriguez both tied the game at 4-4, and Lou Gehrig at 23.

Now Rodriguez is one away from becoming the MLB’s all-time leader in slams. And there’s no better time to do it than when your team needs it the most.

Bonus points should be given for the fact that a Yankee fan caught it. And more points to the Yankees dugout for spritzing A-Rod in the face afterwards.

The Yankees would go on to win the game, 6-4.
