How many times has the 4th batter of a baseball game hit a grand slam? The first three batters would have to reach base safely (and not score) and then the clean-up hitter hits a home run...
Vlad Guerrero did it on May 1st, but I couldn't think of another case.

not a danger interior the classic experience of the term "back to back". yet, today reload and sell off without an out or yet another run scoring? No. A team has hit 2 grand slams in one inning basically seven cases, and a kind of became into Fernando Tatis by applying himself, so we don't even would desire to check that one. Of the different six, one befell in 1890 and a field score isn't reachable, so we don't understand approximately that one. the the rest 5 on no account got here approximately with 2 slams interior of 5 batters. the closest became into by applying the Milwaukee Brewers against the Boston crimson Sox on 12-April-1980 at homestead; the Brew team racked up 2 slams interior the backside of the 2d en path to an 18-a million bloodbath. It went like this: Yount singled, stole 2d (a million--, -2-). Martinez walked (12-). Molitor bunt singled (123). Cooper homered (GS #a million). Hisle walked (a million--). Ogilvie doubled (-23). Thomas struck out (-23). Lezcano walked intentionally (123). money homered (GS #2). (guess that IBB did not artwork out.) Yount homered. Martinez grounded out. Molitor struck out looking. So basically Gorman Thomas' whiff mucked it up.

The guy who said Aramis Ramirez did it is wrong. I couldn't wait until I went home to find my scoresheets of the game, but I eventually found what I wanted on ESPN.com and is linked below.
It was Game 5 of the 2003 NLCS and, yes Ramirez did hit a grand slam in the first inning, he was batting fifth and Mark Grudzielanek (hitting second) struck out swining. But Lofton, Sosa (how rare is that?), and Alou all walked only to be followed by Rami.
Anyway, to um answer the question ----- I have no idea.

From 1901 to 2005 there have been a total of 5400 Grand Slams, the most of which coming in 2000 with 176 and the least in 1907 with 3. Only 12 players in baseball history have hit 2 in 1 game. Robin Ventura is the only player to hit his only two at the very end of each game in a double header (two games, same day). Bill Mueller is the only player to hit his only two in the same game, but each from different sides of the plate.

Casey Kotchman also did it earlier this week. It has happened a ton in the history of the game. I couldn't even venture an accurate guess!

Check your facts, guys.
Carlos Lee's only grand slam this year came in the third inning of this game:

As for Kotchman, he was not the fourth batter - he was the fifth, and he hit his slam with one out:
