Honus Wagner never did it. Neither did Lou Boudreau, Alan Trammell, Cal Ripken, Jr. or Derek Jeter.

No one, in fact, until the San Francisco Giants Brandon Crawford.

Crawford became the first shortstop in Major League Baseball history to hit a postseason grand slam. It came against the Pirates' starting pitcher Edinson Volquez on October 1, 2014, in the 4th inning.

As Mel Allen would say, "How about that!"

One run would have been sufficient, the way Baumgartner owned the Pirates.

would have been a good bar trivia question ... only position never to have slammed in postseason, etc.
