A day after the pitchers tried to make history; the batters took center stage. Paul Konerko and Joe Crede each hit a grand slam – only the third time the White Sox had hit two grand slams in the same game. Also, according to baseball-reference.com, only 6 games in 2007 and only 3 games in 2006 had two grand slams hit in the same game. In addition, Paul Konerko’s grand slam catapulted Kenny Rogers into the “I’ve given up 10 career grand slams” club. He joined Nolan Ryan and Mike Jackson in the not so-elite club.

I bought a $28 face value ticket for $5 outside the stadium. It was kids costume party day. But that did not stop these guys from dressing up as batman and bat boy.
