During the 2013 season Alex Rodriguez became the all-time
leader in career grand slams in Major League Baseball history when he hit his
24th grand slam of his career. Rodriguez tied fellow Yankee Lou Gehrig with his
23rd grand slam of his career in June of the 2012 season against the Atlanta
Braves. Gehrig had been the all-time grand slam leader for over 60 seasons
before Alex tied and passed him. It all started way back on this day in 1925 when
Gehrig hit his first grand slam of his career.
The Yankees would beat the Washington Senators 11-7 on this day with Gehrig's grand slam as the difference. Gehrig would hit 22 more grand slams during his 17 year tenure as the Yankees Captain and Iron Horse.
