Cloninger is the only PITCHER to hit two grand slams in a game. Several others have also done it. Jim Gentile was the last, I believe. A related question: who holds the record for most RBIs in a game in which 2 grand slams were NOT hit?

About the Dodgers. For a while, they were called the Bridegrooms, because
they had so many marriages.
