Grand Slams All Time Leaders on Baseball Almanac

Career Leaders for Grand Slams

Listed below are the lifetime grand slam hitters that made it their career terrorizing pitchers when they stepped to the plate. Each of these greats has hit the really big one — not just your regular every day home run, but the all exciting, game altering, grand slam.

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) all-time career leaders in Major League grand slams (research courtesy of David Vincent). Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.

"I could have been hit another 100 times if I hadn’t gotten out of the way. I didn’t go up there to get hit. I went up and crowded the plate to take away the outside strike and make pitchers come in to me. It evolved into part of my game. Hit me, I’ll steal a base on you." - Don Baylor in The News Tribune (Larry LaRue, 05/27/2005)
