The "Super" Walk-off Grand Slam (there was one last night): [View All]

According to the Baseball Almanac, a Super Walk-off Grand Slam is when a player on the home team hits a bases loaded home run when trailing by three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It's not as common as you think, and surprisingly, accomplished by many players you'd never suspect. Travis Hafner of Cleveland might be an exception -- he did it against the Blue Jays last night, July 7th, 2011.

"Hafner said he got a tip from teammate Michael Brantley, who struck out against (Blue Jays Reliever Luis) Perez. Brantley told Hafner that Perez's fastball had some sink to it, so Hafner looked for something up in the zone that he could drive. "It's awesome. There's nothing like it," Hafner said of his walk-off slam. "It's the most fun you can have on the baseball field. It's great."
