Dodgers fans, let me take you back a little way to simpler times. Los Angeles is facing off against the Chicago Cubs in a Friday evening game that pits Ismael Valdez against Kerry Wood. The Dodgers would go on to crush the Cubs by a score of 12-4, but that would not be the storyline of the day.
Instead, a 29-year-old Mike Piazza would steal the show with a laser to the opposite field off of Wood. The homerun that Piazza hit that day would tie a mark for the most grand slams in a single month, an accomplishment only five players before him had reached.
