Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 5309335, member: 71"] IIRC (I'll need a Met fan to provide details) Robin Ventura hit a game ending, grand slam single in the playoffs, somewhere around 1999 or 2000. He hit the ball over the fence in the bottom half of an extra inning game, but before rounding all of the bases, something happened (passed another baserunner?) which made him out, after crossing first (obviously scoring the runner from third), giving him a game ending single. FWIW, it wasn't until around 1925 that the batter received credit for the home run if it ended the game and scored more than the necessary runs. He would get credit for the longest allowable hit that would have scored the go ahead run. [/QUOTE]
