Who hit the only grand slam single?

Answer 1

Robin Ventura.

The Grand Slam Single is a reference to the hit that ended Game Five of the 1999 National League Championship Series between the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves. The game was played on October 17, 1999 at Shea Stadium.

The game was tied at 2-2 going into the top of the 15th inning, until Mets pitcher Octavio Dotel gave up an RBI triple to Keith Lockhart, giving the Braves a 3-2 lead.

In the bottom of the 15th inning, the Mets managed to load the bases against Braves relief pitcher Kevin McGlinchy. Mets catcher Todd Pratt drew a bases loaded walk, tying the score at 3-3.

The next batter was Mets third baseman Robin Ventura. Ventura crushed the 2-1 pitch over the wall in right-center for a grand slam, winning the game for the Mets and driving the Mets players and fans into a frenzied celebration. Ventura, however, never reached second base as Todd Pratt, the runner who was on first, picked him up in celebration. Subsequently, Ventura was mobbed by his teammates, never finishing his trot around the bases. Because he failed to touch all four bases, the hit was officially scored a single. Roger Cedeno, the runner on third at the time, was ruled the only runner to have crossed home plate before the on-field celebration began and the Mets were awarded a 4-3 victory. Thus, Ventura was only credited with a single and one RBI.

Answer 3

term used to describe the ending of Game 5 of the 1999 NLCS between the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves.

The game carried a 2-2 tie into the 15th inning, where Mets pitcher Octavio Dotel gave up a run on a Keith Lockhart triple, making the score 3-2 Atlanta.

The Mets loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning against Braves reliever Kevin McGlinchy and Todd Pratt drew a walk, tying the score at three.

Robin Ventura, the next batter, drilled a 1-1 pitch over the right-centerfield wall for a grand slam, sending the Mets players and fans into a frenzy. Ventura was mobbed halfway between first and second base by his teammates. The official scorer awarded Ventura a single on the grand slam because he only touched first base.

Answer 4

Good trick question!

In Game 5 of the 1999 NLCS (New York Mets vs. Atlanta Braves), most people believe this was a "grand slam single." However if you look at the official books from the game it was only a single. The "grand slam single" has happened, but in the record book there is no such thing. It is only recorded as a single, due to the hitter only touched first base, then the game ended, so it only counts as a single. The "Grand Slam" part refers to someone who hits a home run with the bases loaded, so since only one runner scored, the official record says a single to drive in one run, no grad slam.

Officially there is no such thin as a "Grad Slam Single."
