Since 2002 the Indians have had 5 players hit walk off grand slams.
Swisher today. Hafner in '11. Santana in '11. Jim Thome in 2002.
Who is the genius here who can name the 5th guy?
BTW, Swisher was the only time a walk off granny was hit in extra innings in Jacobs Field history.

Several of us forum members were watching that game at DONNA's house on that Sunday afternoon!

I was there. Wasn't that the same weekend we went to the Aeros and the Captains games? I was on my way back to Chicago. I also think that was the same weekend that Donna gave me my trumpet vine. I planted it the next weekend on our site at the campground. I planted it next to a large walnut tree. The vine is clinging to that tree and the vines are about 3/4 of the way up the tree. I'm guessing about 25 feet high. Every time I look at, and it's often, I think of Donna.

JOE: Checking my old calendars, I see that we did go to an Aeros game on Saturday, and then to Donna's on Sunday. I don't know about the Captains. I think that was a different year. I see that I went to the game at the Jake on Friday.

And at League Park?

My investigation skills must be as bad as my trivia question skills cause I couldn't find a record for League Park. I did read some info dating back to 1955. So how about this ...
4 Indians players hit walk off grand slams for the Indians during the 1990's. Belle did it twice. Sandy and Omar each had one. Who was the 4th player?
Hint, it happened in 12 inning. ... And is not an obvious choice, such as a guy like Manny, Thome, Murray, etc... So if you get this you truly are a genius.

Read that we may see Pestano called up very soon, as early as today. He's been very good. That would help some guys arms from falling off if he comes back strong.
(Civ, nope)
